re: st: Interaction of ANOVA contrast (e.g. linear/quadratic trend) and another Factor Variable?

[Jared Saletin <jsaletin@berkeley.edu>]

Dear David and Phil,

Thanks so much for the help. I'll definitely look into desmat as per below.

Would it be possibly correct (based on the example here: http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/Stata/examples/da/dastata7.htm), to do the below, in order to look at say linear(A) x B interaction

Generate linear, quad and cubic coefficients for the factor a (3 levels), as per:

generate linear = a
generate quad = a
recode linear  1 = -1 2 = 0 3 = 1
recode quad 1 = 1 2 = -2 3 = 1

and then load the anova model as the following:

anova y c.linear c.quad b c.linear#b c.quad#b

--

At least in this simple example, would that make sense?

Will look into desmat as well as it undoubtedly will help for any designs more complicated than the above.

~Jared
