It's an alias of coefficients().
>x <- c(2,1,3,2,5,3.3,1); >y <- c(4,2,6,3,8,6,2.2);
Plot the data:
Calculate the coefficients of linear model:
>m < lm(y~x) #Linear Regression Model >c <- coef(lm(y~x)) >c
(Intercept) x 0.5487805 1.5975610
Draw the regression line:
>abline(c, col="blue")
Calculate the Correlation Coefficient (r2):
>cr = cor(y,x,method="pearson") >cr = round(cr,digits=3) >cr
