I’m trying to come up with an intuitive visualization of a mixed-effects model with a binary dependent variable and a binary independent variable as well as participant as random effect. What I’ve produced so far is this:
The problem here is that the graph with the lines sloping upwards suggests there are degrees between “yes/no”: the higher the independent variable the higher the dependent variable. The coding for both variables was, however, binary.
How can this graph be changed so that it reflects more adequately the binary nature of the variables? Or, what other visualization could be used for the model?
Data:
