  1. Topic 17: Interaction Models

  2. Interaction Models • With several explanatory variables, we need to consider the possibility that the effect of one variable depends on the value of another variable • Special cases • One binary variable (Y/N) and one continuous variable • Two continuous variables

  3. One binary variable and one continuous variable • X1 takes values 0 and 1 corresponding to two different groups • X2 is a continuous variable • Model: Y= β0+ β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X1X2 + e • When X1 = 0 : Y= β0 + β2X2 + e • When X1 = 1 : Y= (β0 + β1)+ (β2 + β3) X2 + e

  4. One binary and one continuous • β0 is the intercept for Group 1 • β0+ β1 is the intercept for Group 2 • Similar relationship for slopes (β2 and β3) • H0: β1 = β3 = 0 tests the hypothesis that the regression lines are the same • H0: β1 = 0 tests equal intercepts • H0: β3 = 0 tests equal slopes

  5. KNNL Example p316 • Y is number of months for an insurance company to adopt an innovation • X1 is the size of the firm (a continuous variable • X2 is the type of firm (a qualitative or categorical variable)

  6. The question • X2 takes the value 0 if it is a mutual fund firm and 1 if it is a stock fund firm • We ask whether or not stock firms adopt the innovation slower or faster than mutual firms • We ask the question across all firms, regardless of size

  7. Plot the data symbol1 v=M i=sm70 c=black l=1; symbol2 v=S i=sm70 c=black l=3; proc sort data=a1; by stock size; proc gplot data=a1; plot months*size=stock; run;

  8. Two symbols on plot

  9. Interaction effects • Interaction expresses the idea that the effect of one explanatory variable on the response depends on another explanatory variable • In the KNNL example, this would mean that the slope of the line depends on the type of firm

  10. Are both lines the same? • From scatterplot, looks like different intercepts but can use the test statement for formal assessment Data a1; set a1; sizestock=size*stock; Proc reg data=a1; model months=size stock sizestock; test stock, sizestock; run;

  11. Output Reject H0.There is a difference in the linear relationship across groups

  12. Output • How are they different? No difference in slopes assuming different intercepts Potentially different intercepts assuming different slopes

  13. Two parallel lines? proc reg data=a1; model months=size stock; run;

  14. Output

  15. Output Int for stock firms is 33.87+8.05 = 41.92 Common slope is –0.10

  16. Plot the two fitted lines symbol1 v=M i=rl c=black l=1; symbol2 v=S i=rl c=black l=3; proc gplot data=a1; plot months*size=stock; run;

  17. The plot

  18. Two continuous variables • Y= β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X1X2 + e • Can be rewritten as follows • Y= β0 + (β1 + β3X2)X1 + β2X2 + e • Y= β0 + β1X1 + (β2 + β3X1) X2 + e • The coefficient of one explanatory variable depends on the value of the other explanatory variable

  19. Last slide • We went over KNNL 8.2 – 8.7 • We used programs Topic17.sas to generate the output for today
