Table 2.

Categories of interactive relationships between two factors.

Interaction type Description
Weaken, univariate Min (Q(X1), Q (X2)) < Q (X1 ∩ X2) < Max (Q(X1), Q(X2))
Weakened, nonlinear Q (X1 ∩ X2) < Min (Q(X1), Q (X2))
Enhanced, bivariate Q (X1 ∩ X2) > Max (Q (X1), Q (X2))
Enhanced, nonlinear Q (X1 ∩ X2) > Q (X1) + Q (X2)
Independent Q (X1 ∩ X2) = Q (X1) + Q (X2)
