Interaction between Factors

• Interaction: Differences among the levels of one Factor depend on the levels on the other Factor. (Difference here refers to direction and size of the effect).

– For example, some difference between the levels of factor A may hold true at one level of B but not at another level of B

– Or the difference between two levels of A may be much stronger at one level of B than at another level of B, even though it is in the same direction.
