Dear Andrew,

Thank you very much for providing the NBS toolbox!
I have a question regarding the contrast setting for a one-way ANOVA with four independent groups of subjects with the following design matrix:
1 0 0 0
1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0
0 0 1 0
0 0 0 1
0 0 0 1
(with more than two subjects in each group).
Can you please explain why the F-contrast according to the example in the help is [1 1 1 1] to test if any of the means is significantly different? Being used to SPM contrasts it appears to test if the sum of all 4 groups is different from zero and the following would be more intuitive for me to test the differences across groups [1 -1 0 0; 0 1 -1 0; 0 0 1 -1].

Another quick question: does the initial "threshold" refer to the F-value (or t-value respectively) for the initial mass univariate testing?

Thank you and best regards,
Andreas
