Without more information, I don't think you can. **If** you are assuming a Z test (i.e. the thing you are testing against a null hypotheses H_0=0 is supposed to be normally distributed) then you know that
p-value = 2*pnorm(abs(beta/SE),lower.tail=FALSE) [based on a two-tailed test] and you can use qnorm() to invert this, but you can't separate beta and SE. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
