A hallmark of biological interaction is that the total effect, produced when factors act together, differs from the sum of effects when the factors operate independently. (Adapted from Zhao, Daniel & Thompson, David. (2023). Choosing Statistical Models to Assess Biological Interaction as a Departure from Additivity of Effects. Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Public Health. 18. 85-92. 10.54103/2282-0930/20180.)
