The group sizes are in nvar and the SDs are in sdvar. Options ------- ^coeffs(^coeffvar^)^|^trend^: one of these is REQUIRED. If ^trend^ is specified, L is a standardized linear trend contrast using integers with spacing 1. ^level(^#^)^ defines the confidence interval coverage for L. Default: $S_level. Remarks ------- Like @contrast@, ^aov1cont^ calculates the standardized contrast L as L = (a1 * mean1) + (a2 * mean2) + (a3 * mean3) + ... where mean1 is the first value of meanvar and a1 is the first STANDARDIZED coefficient in coeffvar, and so on. ^aov1cont^ always standardizes the coeff- icients so that they add up to zero; it does so by subtracting the mean of coeffvar from each of its values. The standardized coefficients (a1, a2, etc) are labelled ^__a^ in the output from ^aov1cont^. The output includes a confidence interval for L and a significance test for L = 0.
