[R] how to test whether two slopes are sign. different?

[Harold Doran]

Dear Stoet

This can be handled well in using a mixed-effects model, library (nmle). You can use the lmList option to check whether the slopes differ across populations.

Hi,

  suppose I do want to test whether the slopes (e.g. determined with
lsfit) of two different population are significantly different, how do
I test this (in R). Say for example, I found out what the slope
between age and number of books read per year is for two different
populations of subjects (e.g. 25 man and 25 woman), say using
lsfit. How can I tell whether the slopes are different in R. (And how
would I do it for regression coefficients?)

Thanks a lot for your help.
