How to treat or beautify R summary() output containing "e 02" (scientific notation) values-CodePudding

I'm new to R and wan't to learn what is a good way to treat "e 02" values. See this example output of a summary(lm()).

Coefficients:
                                              Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)    
(Intercept)                                 -2.168e 02  4.402e 00 -49.257  < 2e-16 ***
Age                                          1.044e 01  8.403e-02 124.262  < 2e-16 ***
GenderWeiblich                               2.638e 02  6.131e 00  43.019  < 2e-16 ***
VerstorbenTrue                               1.027e 03  3.665e 01  28.020  < 2e-16 ***

Of course I know what that e means but I don't want to transform that in my head. I want to beautify the output.

Asking the other way around: Why does R use scientific notation at this point?

CodePudding user response：

In order to eliminate the exponential notation of the integer, we can use the

global setting using options() method, by setting the scipen argument, that is

options(scipen = n)
