ANCOVA rank deficient
Dear NBS' users,
I am running an analysis with two groups (HC and patients) where I want to control for age and gender.
This is a short example of the matrix I am using to do so:
1 1 0 -1 0.5
1 1 0 1 -05
1 1 0 -1 0.5
1 0 1 1 -05
1 0 1 1 -05
1 0 1 -1 0.5
Where the first column is the intercept, the second column the first group, 3rd the second group, 4th column is gender and 5th age (demeaned).
My contrast would be [0 1 -1 0 0] running an F-test.
Now, when I run the analysis with these settings MATLAB gives me the following warning:
Warning: Rank deficient, rank = 4, tol = 1.154632e-14.
Is it possible this is caused by the sample size being too small (HC=26, patients=26)?
What else could the problem be? How is it possible to solve this?
Thank you so much!
Best,
Giulia
