Hello,

I am having a difficulty asking this question succinctly so I am pasting
*parts of my code* and output below. I imagine this is an easy question for
expert R users.

 

> summary(out.lm)

Call:

lm(formula = mathpre ~ collgpaa, data = scs)     

Residuals:

    Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max

-6.0465 -1.9008 -0.0637  1.8426  6.6097 

Coefficients:

            Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) 

(Intercept)   3.4122     0.7581   4.501 1.13e-05 

***

collgpaa      1.0384     0.2655   3.912 0.000124 

***

---

Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 

'.' 0.1 ' ' 1

Residual standard error: 2.646 on 208 degrees of 

freedom

Multiple R-squared:  0.06852,   Adjusted R-squared:  0.06405

F-statistic:  15.3 on 1 and 208 DF,  p-value: 0.0001241

 

In the part of this output that shows coefficients, I can tell that estimate
std error is 0.7581 and T-value is 4.501, by memorizing the placements of
std error, t-value and Pr(>|t|). And knowing what kinds of number to expect
I guess could work in most cases I may run into.

I believe my sighted colleagues are able to easily place which number
belongs to what by looking at how they are placed (4.501 directly underneath
t value for example). 

Perhaps as I practice more, I will become more efficient over time but I am
curious, is there a way I can make the process of reading the output and
placing which number belongs to where more efficient for? E.g., having this
be displayed in a list format or table format that I can navigate cell by
cell vertically?

 

Thank you for your consideration and any suggestion you may be able to
offer.

 

Miso
