Modifying Moderation Graph in MLM Context

Post by r2theoozbeck »

Hello,

I have a brief question on visually modifying moderation graphs.
I ran a MLM, standardized all continuous variables, and found a significant interaction effect. I then produced a graph showing this interaction (attached) within this MLM context. I am wondering how I can modify the observed X range or Y Range of the graph, to potentially accentuate the faint results. I would like to accentuate the results without changing the SD range (currently +/- 1) for the moderation effect.

Thank you very much for your time and any thoughts you may have,
Rouzbeh R.

Hi
I'm not sure what you intend to do, but I do not see any way to change your plot. If you standardized your variables, you are already seeing more than 4 standard deviations span in the X-axis. If you expand it furthermore, you'll be showing a plot clearly outside the window of your data.

Hi. Thank you for your response.
I mean that I am trying to focus the results on a certain window of the data. So, showing outcomes for say, 0-2 standard deviations for the x range, "total sessions". Or alternatively, narrowing in on a specific Y range.
Would that be possible by chance?
Thank you again for your time.

Well, not out of the box. You can save the predicted values and then use them in a graph software like excel or the like, plotting only the value you're interested in.

Hi!
Your method of saving the predicted values and using excel is great. Do you mean to build the equation (using estimate values and residual standard error) and then plug in values? Or is there another way to save the predicted values in Jamovi?
Thanks helping me see this question through,
