A Bayesian Averaging of Classical Estimates (BACE) Approach

The procedure does not differ from the most basic Bayesian reasoning: the idea dates at least to Harold Jeffreys ( ...

... Albert says, “We should use (1|Subject) + (1|HoursOfStudy) because we’re adding HoursOfStudy as another random effect.” Betsy says, “We can use (1+HoursOfStudy|Subject) to make both the intercept and slope different for each subject.” Carlos says, “We want to capture both subject differences and Hou ...

... In Model 1 we estimate that a $1.00 increase in the ticket price increase attendance by nearly 2,000 per game whereas in Model 2 we estimate that a $1.00 increase decreases attendance by about 600 per game. The two models suggest that the individual effect of the ticket price is very different. The ...

Interaction (statistics)
In statistics, an interaction may arise when considering the relationship among three or more variables, and describes a situation in which the simultaneous influence of two variables on a third is not additive. Most commonly, interactions are considered in the context of regression analyses.The presence of interactions can have important implications for the interpretation of statistical models. If two variables of interest interact, the relationship between each of the interacting variables and a third ""dependent variable"" depends on the value of the other interacting variable. In practice, this makes it more difficult to predict the consequences of changing the value of a variable, particularly if the variables it interacts with are hard to measure or difficult to control.The notion of ""interaction"" is closely related to that of ""moderation"" that is common in social and health science research: the interaction between an explanatory variable and an environmental variable suggests that the effect of the explanatory variable has been moderated or modified by the environmental variable.
