Tino -
   When you call summary for an lm object, the function
that actually gets called is "summary.lm".  This function
has a help page, and, if you type

?summary.lm

and look at the "Value" section, you'll see the following:

coefficients: a p x 4 matrix with columns for the estimated
          coefficient, its standard error, t-statistic and
          corresponding (two-sided) p-value.  Aliased coefficients are
          omitted.

Here's an example of how you could extract the probabilities:

set.seed(12)
df = data.frame(y=rnorm(100),x1=rnorm(100),x2=rnorm(100))
df.lm = lm(y~x1+x2,df)
sdf.lm = summary(df.lm)
sdf.lm$coefficients[,4]
(Intercept)          x1          x2
  0.7445605   0.8081874   0.2535098

or

sdf.lm$coefficients[,"Pr(>|t|)"]
(Intercept)          x1          x2
  0.7445605   0.8081874   0.2535098

Hope this helps

Hi,

I am quite new to R - but quite expierience in programming. Nonetheless I have some problemes in accessing information of the "summary" object. Here is what I do:

model <- lm ( y ~ myVariable )

"summary(model)" gives me an object which has a lot of information about the regression. Now I'd like to access programmatically the level of significance which is marked with "***" and ("**") according to its confidence-interval. As I can access all information of the coefficients via

summary(model)$coeff["myVariable"]

I am now struggling to access the information of the level of significance.

Does anyone has an idea how I could achieve that? Or where I could find a similar example?

Thanks in advance for any hint,
Tino
