Dear morphometrics,

I wondered if it is reasonable from a mathematically view to test for overall significance (F-test) of the regression when applying a model II regression (in my case major axis regression & standard major axis regression). I tested for the significance of individual regression parameters (slope, intercept) by permutation, confidence intervals or the method of Warton et al. (2006). However, wouldn’t the overall test provide some more general information about the significance of the coefficient of determination (r2) rather than only about the ‘goodness’ of single parameters?
And if the overall test is reasonable, has it already been implanted in R?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Patrick Arnold
