I don't think you should report anything. You need a consultation. Rhelp is established to offer technical advice about running R code. >From the Posting Guide: "Questions about statistics: The R mailing lists are primarily intended for questions and discussion about the R software. However, questions about statistical methodology are sometimes posted. If the question is well-asked and of interest to someone on the list, it may elicit an informative up-to-date answer. See also the Usenet groups sci.stat.consult (applied statistics and consulting) and sci.stat.math (mathematical stat and probability). Basic statistics and classroom homework: R-help is not intended for these." -- David. > > Regards > Lutfor > > > > > > On Fri, Sep 13, 2013 at 7:42 PM, David Winsemius <dwinsem...@comcast.net> > wrote: > > On Sep 13, 2013, at 9:38 AM, Lutfor Rahman wrote: > > Dear forum members, > > Please help me understanding significance value when GLM done in r. > > After doing minimal adequate model, I have found a number of independent > values which are significant.
