My data looks like following: cera3[i, ] batch lcl29 pdt Untreated 3.185867 1 0 0 Untreated.4 3.185867 0 0 0 LCL29 4.357552 1 1 0 LCL29.6 3.446256 0 1 0 PDT 2.765535 1 0 1 PDT.5 3.584963 0 0 1 PDT+LCL29.1 2.867896 1 1 1 PDT+LCL29.3 2.827819 0 1 1
As you can see there are three factorls batch , lcl29 and pdt. I am trying to fit the model: Y = batch +pdt*lcl29. I get the following coefficients: Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 3.1524122 0.2487796 12.6715049 1.242191e-12 batch1 -0.2267947 0.2291590 -0.9896827 3.314508e-01 lcl291 0.6350186 0.3122910 2.0334194 5.233525e-02 pdt1 0.1046388 0.3122910 0.3350684 7.402619e-01 lcl291:pdt1 -0.6633316 0.4521381 -1.4670995 1.543419e-01 I know that the coef. of lcl291 i.e 0.635 is difference in means between rows with lcl29 present alone and untreated ones. Same is true for the coef of PDT1. However I am not sure about the coefficient of lcl291:pdt1. where does this value come from? How is it calculated? what does it tell? Is it Interaction versus all the rest because it is certailnly not interaction versus untreated?
