Stars significance level in r

Hi This ist the definiftion of the significance test in r. If you do a linear regression in r this is what r retuns. Signif. codes: 0 ‘’ 0.001 ‘’ 0.01 ‘’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1 My question is for *** what is the significance level?It cannot be 0. ** means siginificance level of 0.1% and * is significance level of 1% and . is at level 5%.Is that right?

Solution

  • This is the code in printCoefmat:

    if (signif.stars) {
                Signif <- symnum(pv, corr = FALSE, na = FALSE, 
                  cutpoints = c(0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 1), 
                  symbols = c("***", "**", "*", ".", " "))
                Cf <- cbind(Cf, format(Signif))

    You can think of symnum as a specialized form of findInterval where the values are the location of the interval defined by n+1 cutpoints for n interval-names.
