You can learn a lot from the help files. Check out the help files for the lm() and summary.lm() functions
?lm ?summary.lm You can extract the beta values in a few different ways. These two will give you just the estimates in a vector: coef(result) result$coef These two will give you the estimates and more in a matrix: coef(summary(result)) summary(result)$coef Jean Krunal Nanavati <krunal.nanav...@cogitaas.com> wrote on 07/26/2012 07:28:02 AM: > > Hi, > > I have a query on regression output generated by R. > > > result=lm( Y~X , data=trail) > > summary(result) > > After running this 2 statements the following output is generated. > > Call: > lm(formula = Y ~ X, data = trail) > > Residuals: > Min 1Q Median 3Q Max > -245.30 -90.77 -30.30 54.99 532.78 > > Coefficients: > Estimate Std.
