What is a saturated model in log-linear regression?
A “log-linear model” is a statistical model for the natural logarithm (ln) of the expected frequency. The terms corresponding to main effects represent departures from equal marginal frequencies. The model with terms corresponding to all possible main effects and interactions is called the saturated model.
What is a log-linear classifier?
A log-linear model is a mathematical model that takes the form of a function whose logarithm equals a linear combination of the parameters of the model, which makes it possible to apply (possibly multivariate) linear regression.
How to interpret slope coefficient in linear model?
To interpret the slope coefficient we divide it by 100. This tells us that a 1% increase in x increases the dependent variable by about 0.002. Why does it tell us this? Let’s do some math. Below we calculate the change in y when changing x from 1 to 1.01 (ie, a 1% increase).
How to interpret interaction coefficient in are part 1 lm?
So this post is divided in three parts: i) interaction between two categorical variables, ii) interaction between one continuous and one categorical variables and finally iii) interaction between two continuous variables.

How to interpret log transformations in a linear model?
OK, you ran a regression/fit a linear model and some of your variables are log-transformed. Only the dependent/response variable is log-transformed. Exponentiate the coefficient, subtract one from this number, and multiply by 100. This gives the percent increase (or decrease) in the response for every one-unit increase in the independent variable.
Since this is just an ordinary least squares regression, we can easily interpret a regression coefficient, say β 1, as the expected change in log of y with respect to a one-unit increase in x 1 holding all other variables at any fixed value, assuming that x 1 enters the model only as a main effect.
