...s() function. In order to find a description for the behavior, I had to look in the underlying C code, buried above the "TermCode" function of the "model.c" file, which says: "TermCode decides on the encoding of a model term. Returns 1 if variable ``whichBit'' in ``thisTerm'' is to be encoded by contrasts and 2 if it is to be encoded by dummy variables. This is decided using the heuristic described in Statistical Models in S, page 38." I do not have a copy of this book, and I suspect most R users do not as well. Thankfully, however, some of the pages de...

Hello Tyler, I want to bring to your attention the following document: "What happens if you omit the main effect in a regression model with an interaction?" (https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stata/faq/what-happens-if-you-omit-the-main-effect-in-a-regression-model-with-an-interaction). This gives a useful review of the problem. Your example is Case 2: a continuous and a categorical regressor.
