[R] multiple moderated regression steps

[Frank Harrell]

How does it help to center the variables?  What statistical principles are
you using to fit your model and how are you ensuring statistical validity of
inferential estimates?  Why do it in multiple steps?  Why use a mixture of
software tools?  What is the utility of standardized regression
coefficients?
