Re: [R] Question about linear regression in R

What exactly is it that's worrying you? It's a problematic regression for a few reasons, but ultimately it seems pretty ok, though I'd be ever so slightly worried about the R^2 value being misinterpreted. Michael On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 10:49 PM, Miles Yang wrote: > Hi all, > I wrote a r program

[R] Question about linear regression in R
