- An interaction is a gsl_vector containing a "product" of other
- variables. The variables can be either categorical or numeric.
- If the variables are all numeric, the interaction is just the
- scalar product. If any of the variables are categorical, their
- product is a vector containing 0's in all but one entry. This entry
- is found by combining the vectors corresponding to the variables'
- OBS_VALS member. If there are K categorical variables, each with
- N_1, N_2, ..., N_K categories, then the interaction will have
- N_1 * N_2 * N_3 *...* N_K - 1 entries.
-
- When using these functions, make sure the orders of variables and
- values match when appropriate.
