%N A006126 Number of hierarchical models on n labeled factors or variables with linear terms forced. Also number of antichain covers of a labeled n-set.
%C A006126 An antichain cover is a cover such that no element of the cover is a subset of another element of the cover.
%C A006126 Also, the number of nondegenerate monotone Boolean functions of n variables in an n-variable Boolean algebra. - Rodrigo A. Obando (R.Obando(AT)computer.org), Jul 26 2004
%C A006126 Also, number of simplicial complexes on an n-element vertex set. - _Richard Stanley_, Feb 10 2019
%C A006126 There are two antichains of size zero, namely {} and {{}}, while there is only one simplicial complex, namely {}. The unlabeled case is A006602. The non-covering case is A000372, which is A014466 plus 1. - _Gus Wiseman_, Mar 31 2019
%C A006126 From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Apr 10 2020: (Start)
%C A006126 Hierarchical models are always nonempty because they always include an intercept (or overall effect).
%C A006126 The total number of log-linear hierarchical models on n labeled factors (categorical variables) with no forcing of terms is given by A000372(n) - 1 (Dedekind numbers minus 1).
%C A006126 Hierarchical log-linear models for analyzing contingency tables are defined in the classic book by Bishop, Fienberg, and Holland (1975). (End)

It essentially says that if a higher-order parameter term is included in the log-linear model, then all the lower-order parameter terms should also be included. - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Apr 08 2020]
