Hello,

I'm a newcomer to R so please
forgive me if this is a silly question.

It's that I have a linear regression:
fm <- lm (x ~ y)
and I want to test whether the
slope of the regression is significantly
less than 1. How can I do this in R?

Another way of doing this is to use offset(x) in the model formula

summary(fm <- lm(y ~ x + offset(x)))

(I know you wrote lm(x ~ y) but I find I have to think of it as lm(y ~ x) - old habits are hard to break.)

If you want to test for "slope is significantly less than 2" you would use

summary(fm <- lm(y ~ x + offset(2*x)))
