That last line appears unlikely to be parsed correctly. In R a “=“ sign is
interpreted as assignment whereas a “==“ (doubled equals) is a logical
operator. Since I’ve only got a iPhone at hand I can’t test. In the future you
should include full text of errors, preferably in the context in which they are
returned.
As an experiment I asked ChatGPT your question an it suggested
library(car)
data <- data.frame(
income = c(30, 45, 50, 25, 60, 55),
education = c(12, 16, 14, 10, 18, 16),
gender = c("Male", "Female", "Male", "Female", "Male", "Female")
)
model <- lm(income ~ education * gender, data = data)
# Test if the effect of education differs by gender
test <- linearHypothesis(model, "education:genderMale = 0")
But I have the same concern about that code as I had with whatever your AI
produced.
