Basic rules are suggested to replace the signed coefficient rule to infer the form of moderator effects in terms of slopes of regression lines. Steps are provided to interpret the form of moderator effects that can be achieved using only the regression coefficients of the predictor variable and interaction term. (SLD)

Power and Type I error rates were estimated for contingency tables with small sample sizes for the following four types of tests: (1) Pearson's chi-square; (2) chi-square with Yates's continuity correction; (3) the likelihood ratio test; and (4) Fisher's Exact Test. Various marginal distributions, sample sizes, and effect sizes were examined. (SLD)
