Dan,
I think Juan was referring to three-way interactions and
four-way interactions, i.e. age * household * democrat.

A good question. Clearly, you could just keep
going--what about
age^4*voted86^2? When we wrote the problem, we envisioned:
* all the covariates
* all of their squared terms
* all of the multiplicative interactions of the original 4 variables
I hope that clarifies things--obviously, it's OK if people also included
cubic terms.
Best,
Dan

Hi,
What does exactly "all their multiplicative interactions" mean? Is is
all the possible interactions of pairs of covariates or are we supposed
to allow for higher order intercations of the type: X1*X2*X3*X4?
