Hello everybody!

I just need a small precision for statistical analysis. I would like to compare
the slope of regression between two groups. Therefore I made my fsgdf like
that:

  GroupDescriptorFile 1
  Title Thickness comparison
  Class Control
  CLASS Patient
  Variable Age 
  Input subj1 Control   10                
  Input subj2 Control  15    
  Input subj3 Control   20   
  Input subj4 Patient   10                
  Input subj5 Patient  15    
  Input subj6 Patient   20
    ....


And the estimation step with DODS resulted in a design matrix with 4 columns.
How do I have to compute the contrast to answer the following question: do
cortical thickness decrease more steeply with age in the patient than in the
control group? It should be something like 0 0 1 -1 ? 
(and 1 -1 0 0 will answer to the question: is there any group difference in
thickness with age being regressed out?).

Thank you very much for your help!

Marie Schaer
