Software:Article Title: Deeply digging the interaction effect in multiple linear regressions using a fractional-power interaction term
Article Snippet: .. Name and reference of original method , Polynomial regressions can calculate high order interaction effects such as X 1 M X 2 N , yet M and N are limited within a few integers. Compared with polynomial regressions, fractional polynomial regressions (FPRs) were proposed to model the effects of explanatory variables beyond integer exponents , . Royston and Sauerbrei further invented multivariable fractional polynomials interaction (MFPI), which can handle interactions of continuous predictors in the form of fractional polynomials. The algorithm of MFPI is available in Stata , which however gives limited options (i.e. −2, − 1, − 0.5, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3) for the powers of a predictor. The package for R, mfp , was designed to run MFPI, yet the function for treating interaction terms is still absent . References [1] P. Royston, D.G.
