Info

The interpretation of this example is important to understand. The title of the graph says “false treatment main effect”. However, the treatment did have an interaction effect: Treatment helped children with higher scores on the assignment variable more than children with lower scores on the assignment variable…
Here we see an example where the treatment had both a main effect and an interaction effect, correctly modeled. main ^
