Dear All,

First of all I would like to say I do not have much knowledge about this
subject, so most of you can find it really easy. I am doing a linear
regression and I want to test if the slope of the curve is 0. R gives the
summary statistics:

Call:
lm(formula = x ~ s)

Residuals:
      Min        1Q    Median        3Q       Max
-0.025096 -0.020316 -0.001203  0.011658  0.044970

Coefficients:
             Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)  0.005567   0.016950   0.328    0.750
s           -0.001599   0.002499  -0.640    0.538

Residual standard error: 0.02621 on 9 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.04352,    Adjusted R-squared: -0.06276
F-statistic: 0.4095 on 1 and 9 DF,  p-value: 0.5382

what is this t-value for? The explanation in the help file was unfortunately
not clear to me. How can I test my hypotheses that if the slope is 0?

Thank you in advance,

regards,

Evrim
