On the Use of Some Selected Estimators in the Computation of Interactions in aModerated Multiple Regression of a Masked Survey Data

Mean has been traditionally used in the computation of the interactions in moderated linear regression. This research extended to the use of medilllll, mode, trimmed mean and some M-estimators which gave almost the same results when compared with mean. The values ofR2 , MSR and F were the same for all the estimators. Also, simulated results vary slightly with the theoretical results due to the effects of outliers as a result of random mnnbers. The smvey data was masked because it is a subset of an ongoing research work
