Member Training: Interactions in ANOVA and Regression Models, Part 1

There is something about interactions that is incredibly confusing.

An interaction between two predictor variables means that one predictor variable affects a  third variable differently at different values of the other predictor.

How you understand that interaction depends on many things, including:

• Whether one, or both, of the predictor variables is categorical or numerical
• How each of those variables is coded (specifically, whether each categorical variable is dummy or effect coded and whether numerical variables are centered)
• Whether it’s a two-way or three-way interaction
• Whether there is a directionality to the interaction (moderation) or not

Sometimes you need to get pretty sophisticated in your coding, in the output you ask for, and in writing out regression equations.

In this webinar, we’ll examine how to put together and break apart output to understand what your interaction is telling you.
