Hi,
In our analysis (mean centered task PLS) three conditions were separated with values of:
condition 1: - .76
condition 2: .56
condition 3: .05.
Thus, conditions 2 and 3 were grouped together and showed a different brain pattern than condition 1. Is there a way to test that conditions 2 and 3 are statistically different to make the claim that condition 3, which is near zero, is not contributing significantly to the brain pattern revealed by the task analysis?
Also, is there a way in a behavioural PLS to test that - if two conditions show both positive correlations but one is smaller than the other - that the two correlations are statistically different?
I ask only because a reviewer wants these stats.
I hope that make sense.
Thanks!
