Contrasts with an interaction. How does one specify the dummy variables for the interaction
This is failing because it is a saturated model and the contrast package tries to do a t-test (instead of a z test). I can add code to do this, but it will take a few days. Max On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 2:16 PM, John Sorkin

I am trying to understand how to create contrasts for a model that contatains an interaction. I can get contrasts to work for a model without interaction, but not after adding the interaction. Please see code below. The last two contrast statements show the problem. I would appreciate someone letting me know what is wrong with the syntax of my contrast statements.
Thank you,
John
library(contrast)
# Create 2x2 contingency table.
counts=c(50,50,30,70)
row <- ? ?gl(2,2,4)
column <- gl(2,1,4)
mydata <- data.frame(row,column,counts)
print(mydata)
# Show levels of 2x2 table
levels(mydata$row)
levels(mydata$column)
# Models, no interaction, and interaction
fitglm0 <- glm(counts ~ row + column, ? ? ? ? ? ? ?family=poisson(link="log"))
fitglm ?<- glm(counts ~ row + column + row*column, family=poisson(link="log"))
# Contrasts for model without interaction works fine!
anova(fitglm0)
summary(fitglm0)
con0<-contrast(fitglm0,list(row="1",column="1"))
print(con0,X=TRUE)
# Contrast for model with interaction does not work.
anova(fitglm)
summary(fitglm)
con<-contrast(fitglm,list(row="1",column="1")
print(con,X=TRUE)
# Nor does this work.
con<-contrast(fitglm,list(row="1",column="1",row:column=c("0","0")))
print(con,X=TRUE)
