hyptest {lmreg}R Documentation

Test of a linear hypothesis in a linear model

Description

Carries out test of a single linear hypothesis in a linear model.

Usage

hyptest(lmobj, p, xi = 0, type = "both")

Arguments

lmobj

An object produced by lm fitting.

p

A numeric vector containing coefficients of the linear combination of model parameters.

xi

A numeric variable containing hypothesized value of the linear combination of model parameters (default = 0).

type

A character variable indicating the type of alternative: "upper" (one-sided), "lower" (one-sided) or "both" (default, two-sided).

Details

It is assumed that all the model parameters are estimable and the linear model is homoscedastic and normal.

Value

Returns the estimated value of the linear combination of model parameters, its standard error, the t-statistic, the degrees of freedom and the p-value.
