This text provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of methods for interpreting interaction effects in regression-like models. There are very few texts that cover interaction effects in the linear and generalised model in this depth, and the focus on applied research using Stata will make this an invaluable guide for graduate students taking quantitative methods courses in the social and behavioural sciences.
