two-way interaction

in a two-way analysis of variance, the joint effect of both independent variables, a and b, on a dependent variable. A statistically significant two-way interaction indicates that there are differences in the influence of each independent variable at their different levels (e.g., the effect of a₁ and a₂ at b₁ is different from the effect of a₁ and a₂ at b₂). See also higher order interaction.
