## Contrast matrix describing the experimental questions

### Description

This matrix of numerical constants describes the experimental question, p say. Each experimental question is described by a single contrast vector (a single row in cmat) or by a contrast matrix (several rows in cmat). The ordering of the columns corresponds to that of the associated design matrix X. Thus, typically the first two elements in a row of cmat are reserved for for the two dyes. E.g. to compare the two dyes, we set (-1, 1, 0, ..., 0).

### Usage
