Hi,
I am using the lmer function in lme4 to test a model like this:
DV ~ factor1 * factor2 (simplified for purposes of illustration, so
without random effects structure)
DV = continuous (Reaction time)
factor1 = continuous
factor2 = categorical (3 levels)
summary(model) will give me output like this:
factor2-level1 * Factor1 = xxx
factor2-level2 * Factor1 = xxx
factor2-level3 * Factor1 = xxx
If I try to get p-values for this model, however, I only get one p-value
for the interaction factor2 * factor 1.
What do you recommend to report in this case?
p-values with corresponding F-values and df, or the t-values found in
summary(model), without any p-values?
Thanks in advance,
Lotte
