Hi folks,
I'm aware the MBC software uses dummy coding but I'm in need of using effects coding for an MBC project (so that the intercepts represent the grand mean). I am wondering whether it's theoretically possible to export a regular dummy-coded Excel simulator from MBC, but then estimate utilities in the CBC/HB system (which uses effects coding), and overwrite the design and data inside the dummy-coded Excel simulator for each dependent variable with the effects-coded design+data.
This seems theoretically possible to me, but before I go down that rabbit hole I'd thought I'd check and see whether anyone had tried it? If so is there any time saving vs. just building an effects-coded simulator from scratch?
