Table 3 McDermott contrast for five points in time and the resulting four contrasts. In C1 the first time point t1 is compared to the second time point t2. In C2 the average of t1 and t2 is compared to t3. In comparison to the Sequen contrast the average of on increasing number of time points is compared to a single time point. Therefore, in the last contrast C5 the average of t1 to t4 is compared to t5
t1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
C 1 | -1.00 | 1.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
C 2 | -0.50 | -0.50 | 1.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
C 3 | -0.33 | -0.33 | -0.33 | 1.00 | 0.00 |
C 4 | -0.25 | -0.25 | -0.25 | -0.25 | 1.00 |
