Why do you think that running lm() twice on those two models is going
to help me? They are identical models and hence we get identical
results.The second question is now alright. I had some
misunderstanding about it.
Please tell me if you can find any "downside " in summary (). I can't find any.
i 've edited the code for that replication issue.
set.seed(127)
n <- 50
x1 <- runif(n,1,10)
x2 <- x1 + rnorm(n,0,0.5)
plot(x1,x2) # x1 and x2 strongly correlated
cor(x1,x2)
y <- 3 + 0.5*x1 + 1.1*x2 + rnorm(n,0,2)
intact.lm <- lm(y ~ x1 + x2)
summary(intact.lm)
anova(intact.lm)
> summary(intact.lm)

lm(formula = y ~ x1 + x2)
