r: lm question

Hi all

this is a silly question since i should know the answer.

lm(y~x) perfroms linear regression with the intercept included.

How  do i estimate the equation without the intercept?

?formula:

"The '-' operator removes the specified terms, so that '(a+b+c)^2 - a:b'
is identical to 'a + b + c + b:c + a:c'.  It can also used to remove the
intercept term: 'y~x - 1' is a line through the origin.  A model with no
intercept can be also specified as 'y~x + 0' or '0 + y~x'."

Roger

cheers
