Hi Jeff,

Sorry for the previous email.

I tried using write function, and used the following syntax

write(result,file="C:\\Users\\Krunal\\Desktop\\Book1.csv")

but it is giving the following error

Error in cat(list(...), file, sep, fill, labels, append) :
 argument 1 (type 'list') cannot be handled by 'cat'

Can you tell me where I am going wrong

(First off, we have no wat y=to know what result is. I'm guessing its an lm-object.

If that's correct, then you could try:

write.csv( coef(result), file="C:\\Users\\Krunal\\Desktop\ \Book1.csv")

It is designed to write dataframes, but a simple list or vector of coefficients sould get written (after coercion).

I think you can also do this (in Windows)

write.csv( coef(result), file="clipboard") # and then paste into Excel

Excel doesn't really have a corresponding data structure to a named vector, so you won't get the names if you go the second route.

And finally, Excel has a /Data/Text to Columns facility that is useful for turning console output into columnar data. Choose the fixed format menu.

Stop posting HTML. What you see is NOT what we see.

As regards to your problems... you need to learn how to get data into and out of R, so please read the R Input/Output document supplied with R. The most foolproof way is to write the data to a CSV file and read it from there into a spreadsheet. Depending on your operating system you may be able to
write into a clipboard for more convenience.

As to your goal of making predictions, with only a few more steps you can make those predictions using R. See the examples in the help for predict (
type "?predict.lm" without the quotes).

Hi Jean,



Thank you very much for getting back to me.



I tried the solutions that you have provided.



First I tried the  coef(result) statement .and I got the below output



coef(result)

(Intercept)            X       Volume

-30.40275264   0.57786290   0.02594024



Then, I simply selected this output from the R window, and pasted it
into an Excel Sheet, and it go pasted in the below manner.





















(Intercept)            X       Volume















-30.40275264   0.57786290   0.02594024































































So, here all the output is getting pasted in a single cell. What I am
looking for is something different.



Here is what I am looking for















(Intercept)

X

Volume





-30.40275264

0.57786292

0.02594024



































So, once the beta values are placed in different cells, I can work on
those numbers individually to calculate elasticities.



I tried with the other statements as well, but they are not addressing
this issue.



Can you please help me out with this. I really appreciate your time and
effort.









Thanks & Regards,

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

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. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 245.2982    62.1307   3.948 0.000376 ***
X             0.5192     0.1752   2.963 0.005533 **
---
Signif. codes:  0  ***  0.001  **  0.01  *  0.05  .  0.1     1

Residual standard error: 169.1 on 34 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.2052,     Adjusted R-squared: 0.1818
F-statistic: 8.777 on 1 and 34 DF,  p-value: 0.005533

From this output, I intend to use the beta values to calculate
elasticities. Is this possible directly in R?

If not, then when I paste this output in Excel, It is pasted as an
image,
and thus I cannot use the beta values for calculating any other
metric.

Can anyone please help me out!!!
