Example
I have a linear regression, which fits a numerical dependent variable with 3 explanatory factor variables. Each of the factor variables has 2 levels.
install.packages("robustbase")
install.packages("MASS")
require(robustbase)
require(MASS)
# Example data
data(npk)
df= npk[,-1]
str(df)
# 'data.frame': 24 obs. of 4 variables:
# $ N : Factor w/ 2 levels "0","1": 1 2 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 ...
# $ P : Factor w/ 2 levels "0","1": 2 2 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 ...
# $ K : Factor w/ 2 levels "0","1": 2 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 1 2 ...
# $ yield: num 49.5 62.8 46.8 57 59.8 58.5 55.5 56 62.8 55.8 ...
set.seed(0)
model <- lmrob(yield ~ N + P + K - 1, data= df)
Task
I want to access the p-values for each coefficient of the model
object. To avoid an unnecessary intercept I am already using - 1
in the formula.
summary(model)$coefficients
# Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
# N0 54.644672 2.400075 22.7678995 8.972084e-16
# N1 60.166737 1.966661 30.5933467 2.858276e-18
# P1 -1.059299 2.139443 -0.4951286 6.259053e-01
# K1 -3.905052 2.226012 -1.7542822 9.469295e-02
Seems that the baseline (reference) levels for P
and K
are hidden.
Question
How can I change the code to access the p-values also for P0
and K0
as coefficients for the model
object?
Note: I am not sure if it makes a difference for the solution, that I am actually using in my real problem lmrob
as robust regression function, so I decided to better keep it in this reproducible example.

The p-values that are estimated are:
coef(summary(model))[, 4]
Regarding the reference levels, the model is using treatment contrasts so the values of the reference levels are all zero thus its not meaningful to ask for their p-values.
