It's normally always specified, unless in the case of least squares linear regression (lm), where it is considered obvious. Cheers Joris On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 1:46 AM, Yi wrote: > Hi, folks, > > As I understand, Least-squares Estimate (second-moment assumption) and the > Method of Maximum Like

Hi, folks, As I understand, Least-squares Estimate (second-moment assumption) and the Method of Maximum Likelihood (full distribtuion assumption) are used for linear regression. I do >?lm, but the help file does not tell me the model employed in R. But in the book 'Introductory Statistics with R'
