Hello:
I am running an experiment with three factors, all are continuous. Two of the factors have three levels and one factor has 2 levels.
I was trying with the analysis outcome with recoded factor levels.
The one of the factor has levels 2, 4.5 and 7 and so I recoded them as -1, 0 and 1 as 4.5 is the exact center between 2 and 7.
The other three level factor has levels 2, 4.5 and 6.5. Now 4.5 is not the exact center between the 2 and 6.5, so should I recode them as -1, 0.11 and 1 or should I still code them as -1, 0 and 1?
How it would affect my analysis if I coded them the wrong way?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Varun Katiyar
