This is just guessing but the reason is probably that the regression output (not
including the specific numbers, and your variable names) is standard R output as
already noted.
It probably appears in many other theses and dissertations , in books on R, and
possibly in appendices in published books and papers reporting research
findings.
It, or parts of it, may occur thousands of times on R-help and in R oriented
blogs and other documents on the Web. It quite likely shows up on Stack
Overflow.
Here is one example it took me about 2 minutes to find.
http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~kvansteen/GBIO0009-1/ac20092010/Class8/Using%20R%20for%20linear%20regression.pdf.
And here's another http://www.princeton.edu/~otorres/Regression101R.pdf.
Have a look at Julian Faraway's pdf "Practical Regression and Anova
using R" book in the Contributed section of the R home site at pp -23-24.
There it is again.
I think you probably should do a bit of on-line searching and a sweep of some of
the Manuals and Contributed materials on the R site and point out to the powers
that be that it is not plagiarism, it's just standard R reporting.of
regression results.
