The Compare Slopes option appears when there is one nominal term, one continuous term, and their interaction effect for the fixed effects. This option produces a report that enables you to compare the slopes in an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model. The report compares the slopes of each level of the interaction effect to the overall slope. The comparison uses analysis of means (ANOM) with the overall average. For more information about the analysis of means (ANOM) report, see Comparisons with Overall Average in Standard Least Squares Report and Options.
