Alvaro:
-postgr3- graphs the results of your model, and your model contains an
interaction, so -postgr3- includes that interaction. Whether or not the
interaction is significant isn't relevant here, you forced that
interaction to be in the model, so it is in the model. If you don't
want that interaction just type remove the interaction from your model,
and than call -postgr3-. However, blindly removing variables that are
insignificant is bad practice. You included that interaction in your
model, so apperently you thought that that interaction is interesting.
The fact that it proves to be insignificant is than also an interesting
result, so than you should include it in your model to show that it is
insignificant.
