Can anyone help me with the necessary code to relevel a numeric*factor
interaction term in a linear model? I would like to report the estimate,
std. error and t-value for the reference factor.
First, I estimated a linear model with dummy variables and was able to
retrieve model estimates for the reference factor using relevel.
for example:
> summary(update(mod.mod, . ~ . - dummy +
+ relevel(dummy, ref="m")))
However, when I attempt to follow the same procedure to estimate the
reference factor interacted with a numeric predictor, I receive an error
message.
> summary(update(hdanxinteract.mod, . ~ . - numeric:dummy +
+ relevel(numeric:dummy, ref="m")))
Error in relevel.default(numeric:dummy, ref = "m") :
'relevel' only for factors
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In numeric:dummy :
numerical expression has 152 elements: only the first used
2: In numeric:dummy :
numerical expression has 152 elements: only the first used
If relevel is only for factors, how can I perform an analogous procedure for
factor by numeric interactions?
Thank you in advance for advice,
