And each one describes the average difference in the value of Y for a one-unit difference in the value of the predictor variable, X, that makes up that term. It’s the effect size statistic for that term in the model.

Using Marginal Means to Explain an Interaction to a Non-Statistical Audience
Even with a few years of experience, interpreting the coefficients of interactions in a regression table can take some time to figure out. Trying to explain these coefficients to a group of non-statistically inclined people is a daunting task.
For example, say you are going to speak to a group of dieticians. They are interested [Read more…] about Using Marginal Means to Explain an Interaction to a Non-Statistical Audience
