Hi all,
I am using "lm" to fit some anova factor models with interactions.
The default setting for my unordered factors is "treatment". I
understand the resultant "lm" coefficients for one factors, but when
it comes to the interaction term, I got confused.
> options()$contrasts
unordered ordered
"contr.treatment" "contr.poly"
Here is my question:
Factor A has 6 levels, B has 2 levels,
> levels(dd$A)=c("A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5", "A6")
> levels(dd$B)=c("b1", "b2")
My question is how to interpret the resultant coefficients. What are
the bases of "dd$AA2:dd$Bb2" and "dd$AA3:dd$Bb2", etc. ?
I am having a hard time to understand the result and making sense out
of the numbers...
Please help me ! Thank you!
