Contrast for multiple group comparison
Hello,

I have a design matrix with each row delineating group membership for each subject. There are six groups, and each subject is assigned to one group. I am attempting to post-hoc compare the last group's rsFC to that of all other groups using an F-test. Does the following contrast look correct?

[0.2,0.2,0.2,0..2,0.2,1]

Thanks,
Connor

No it doesn't.

The F-test will test the null hypothesis of equality in mean FC between the 6 groups. 

You may want to use one column to model the other 5 groups and then use a simple t-test.
