A couple people gave you technical solutions already. My question would be, after you've determined whether they are significantly different, then what? Isn't the better question whether the two slopes are different in a substantively important way?

Say for example, I found out what the slope between age and number of books read per year is for two different populations of subjects (e.g. 25 man and 25 woman), say using lsfit. How can I tell whether the slopes are different in R. (And how would I do it for regression coefficients?) Thanks a lot for your help. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
