Here is one way. Take a look at help(offset), help(lm), and help(lm.predict). > xx <- runif(30) > yy <- rnorm(30) > mydata<-data.frame(xx,yy) > lm(yy~offset(15*rep(1,30))+offset(-0.15*xx)-1,mydata) Mark Lyman ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
