great overview of rarely used but incredibly powerful platforms everyone should have in their tool case
Nice data set and presentation. I will use it ! Thanks Nick
Hi @HelenaG, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
The identification of interactions is best done through domain expertise and a known scientific/physical understanding of the variables under analysis.
When interactions between variables are not well understood the "Response Screening" model personality in Fit Model works well at quantifying the strength between individual interaction terms and the response variable.
The "Stepwise Regression" model personality in Fit Model works well at identifying the best combination of terms (Ex: Main effects, interactions..) to use for a potential model.
The term "linear" model refers to how the formula of the model is structured but both the "Response Screening" & "Stepwise Regression" model personalities in Fit Model can also be used to explore non-linear relationships.
We can include non-linear effects and interactions into an analysis by adding polynomial terms.
In Fit Model you can explore any polynomial relationships (non-linear) by adding the corresponding term in the Model effects box (Ex: Quadratic Relationship (x1*x1), Cubic Relationship (x1*x1*x1), Quadratic Interaction (x1*x1*x2)...)
For more information on polynomials and how they can assist with understanding relationships among variables please watch the quick video below:

Hello,
I found this video quite interesting and helpful! Thank you for that!
I would like to better understand the following: all the steps linked with interactions identification and assessment (with response screening and stepwise regression tools) are based on a linear assumption - is this correct? If yes, is there any suggestion to check for non-linear interactions?
Thank you in advance!
Helena
