How to report linear regression results?

Hello,

I performed a siple linear regression using fitlm and am unsure about how to report the stats. I definitely want to mention the coefficients and the p-value, but do I also include the t-statistics? And if so, how exactly?

This is the output I get from Matlab:

If you are doing this for a journal paper submission, consult the journal style guide.

As a general rule, the t-statistics are not reported, because the p-value is more important. (Note that there is some controversy about p-values: The ASA’s Statement on p-values: Context, Process and Purpose.)

This is for my thesis, so there is not really a fixed style. I have seen another thesis where the t-statistics where reported, so I might do it, too.

Could you explain to me, how you structure it, i.e. t(...) = ...?

[Star Strider]

I would just report it as t = 15.8411, next to the p-value. (I never reported both the statistic and the p-value.)

Thanks.

As always, my pleasure.
