Continuous-Nesting-Class Effects

When a continuous variable nests or crosses with a classification variable, the design columns are constructed by multiplying the continuous values into the design columns for the classification effect (Table 7).

Table 7: Example of Continuous-Nesting-Class Effects

Data I A X(A)
X A beta 0 A1 A2 X(A1) X(A2)
21 1 1 1 0 21 0
24 1 1 1 0 24 0
22 1 1 1 0 22 0
28 2 1 0 1 0 28
19 2 1 0 1 0 19
23 2 1 0 1 0 23


This model estimates a separate intercept and a separate slope for X within each level of A.
