Hi Tessa, I agree with John. I think you've made a typo, but looking at your data I think the zero concentration should not be there. Try plotting it.
conc = c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50) signal = c (4, 22, 44, 60, 82) plot(signal~conc) abline(lm(signal~conc)) 2012/11/9 John Kane <jrkrid...@inbox.com> > Tessa, > > Would you please leave in the context --that is your early remarks and > mine? > > Most of us on the R-help list do no use nabble and it is really annoying > to have to go there to see what was discussed.
