R help - Mar 2011 - High standard error

Hi to everyone,
    
     if the estimate of the parameter results in 0.196 and his standard
error is 0.426, can I say that this parameter is not significant for the
model?


Thank you very much

Pippo

Sure why not?

You do realize, do you not that no one has the slightest idea of what you are
doing?

PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and
provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Significant or not you should look at the p-value of your coefficient
estimation. If your prob. is significantly diff. from zero, you start to
interpret your coefficient from there.

Might help to look up Std.Err definition, its is some what similar to the
standard deviation. Good luck.
