interaction between bipolar subtype and YMRS
Dear NBS experts,
Recently, I did some correlation analysis in NBS by using the YMRS scores as co-variate and found some significant correlation between resting state function connectivity and YMRS scores. Now I want to further identify that whether bipolar subtypes moderated the relationship. So I want to conduct a two-way interactions between subtype and YMRS score to see if there is some interaction effect (the bipolar sub types included mania state, euthymic state and depressive state).For example, we have 9 bipolar patients (3 mania, 3 euthymia, and 3 depression). For each subject, I have their YMRS scores. Can you kindly help me with the design matrix? And what's more, how to build the contrast that manifest the interaction effect?
I would be so appreciated if any one could help.
Looking forward for your reply. Thanks so much,
Hua

interaction between bipolar subtype and YMRS
Hi Hua,
First, 9 subjects is most likely inadequate to evaluate an interaction effect. A larger sample size is required.
The design matrix might look like this, where M, E and D denote your three subtypes and the YMRS scores for the 9 subjects are denoted with the letters [a b c d e f g h i]:
M1 1 1 0 a a 0
M2 1 1 0 b b 0
M3 1 1 0 c c 0
E1 1 0 1 d 0 d
E2 1 0 1 e 0 e
E3 1 0 1 f 0 f
D1 1 0 0 g 0 0
D2 1 0 0 h 0 0
D3 1 0 0 i 0 0
To test for an interaction between YMRS score and subtype, the contrast would be [ 0 0 0 0 1 1] and the test would be "F-test".
