[R] Formulae for R functions

[Charles Annis, P.E.]

Richard:

Assuming that you have installed R and are not trying to find everything on
the website, you can list the code of any function by just typing the
function name and <enter>

You will necessarily have to read the R code, but that is much easier than
it may seem when you look at a couple pages of it, as you will when you list
predict.lm

Best wishes.

Can someone direct me to a resource or resources that list the formulae used
by R  functions (i.e. predict.lm ) to calculate the statistic reported.  I
am not a programmer and studying the r code is extremely slow going.  I
have searched  r-project.org and all the function help files without
success. For example I have attempted to replicate by hand the se.fit
calculation from a lm object calculated by a call to the predict function
and have not been able to reproduce the results. 

Thanks,
