Hallo, 

I am totally confused why Excel and R give me totally different regression
results for the data below. If you know the solution, please enlighten me. 

In Excel I used LINEST() and Data>Data Analysis>Regression  and both
(fortunately) gave the same result.
The coefficients were:
/b0=1.16, b1=0.957, b2=0.024, R2=0.0027, adjusted R2=-0.017/

In R I used model<-lm(as.numeric(test[,1]) /(wave sign here)/
as.numeric(test[,2]) + as.numeric(test[,3]))
The result is:
/Coefficients:
                       Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)               3.514     28.913   0.122    0.904
as.numeric(test[, 2])    0.423      1.027   0.412    0.681
as.numeric(test[, 3])    6.629      4.194   1.581    0.117

Residual standard error: 29.19 on 98 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.02706,	Adjusted R-squared: 0.007204 
F-statistic: 1.363 on 2 and 98 DF,  p-value: 0.2607 
/

Does anybody know what is going on?

Thank you for your time! Frauke
