vuorovaikutusvaikutuksia
Vuorovaikutusvaikutuksia, a Finnish term, translates to interaction effects in English. This concept is primarily used in statistics and research to describe situations where the effect of one independent variable on a dependent variable depends on the level of another independent variable. In simpler terms, it means that the combined influence of two or more factors is different from the sum of their individual influences.

Interaction effects are crucial because they reveal more complex relationships between variables than simple main effects,
