Lecture #11

1. Review of Interaction graphs based on Two-Way Factorial Designs

--How to graph the cell means to reflect the presence (or absence) of a significant interaction effect--p. 369 data.

--How to interpret the significant interaction effect in light of a graph-- the exercise with a 3 by 3 factorial design based on school attendance records of Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High School students from three ethnic backgrounds (on PINK sheet).

 

2. Three types of interactions defined and discussed by Kirk

The simple main-effect interactions
-- Simple main effects are defined as (p. 377):

-- Test of simple main effects (alphas) at b1 or b2 or b3 levels is a test of A effect + AB interaction because

SSA+ SSAB=SSA at b1 + SSA at b2 + SSA at b3.

Turn to p. 380 and Table 9.6-2 for a verification.

-- Likewise, test of simple main effects (betas) at a1, a2, or a3 levels is a test of B effect +AB interaction.

Use p. 380 and Table 9.6-2 to verify this.

-- For these reasons, the notion of testing simple main effects is not endorsed by your instructor.

 

The treatment-contrast interactions

-- Treatment-contrast interactions are defined on p.383.

-- Test of treatment-contrast interactions is once again confounded by test of main effects

Turn to p. 388 and examine F tests of line # 4-8.

-- For the reason stated above, this type of interaction is also not endorsed by your instructor.

 

The contrast-contrast interactions

-- Contrast-contrast interactions are defined on p. 384 (middle).

-- They are differences of differences based on cell means.

-- This is the only type of interactions which directly follow from the definition of (a b )jk.

-- Can be implemented into SAS via the CONTRAST statement in PROC GLM such as

 

PROC GLM;

CLASS a b;

MODEL score=a b a*b;

CONTRAST 'psy5-on ab' a*b 1 1 -2 -1 -1 2 0 0 0;

CONTRAST 'psy6-on ab' a*b 1 -1 0 -1 1 0 0 0 0;

CONTRAST 'psy7-on ab' a*b 1 1 -2 1 1 -2 -2 -2 4;

CONTRAST 'psy8-on ab' a*b 1 -1 0 1 -1 0 -2 2 0;
