whether or not there is a similar relationship between the allied health cost and the actual incurred health cost simple regression model as this regression model was looking at the simultaneous influence of two variables (allied health cost and Actual cost) on a third (length of stay) it was decided to check for an interaction term to check if the influence of two variables on a third is not additive
