This function returns the number of model parameters. The default
method returns the component x$param$nParam.
nParam(x, free=FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for default
nParam(x, ...)
# S3 method for lm
nParam(x, ...)Number of parameters in the model
a statistical model
logical, whether to report only the free parameters or the total number of parameters (default)

Free parameters are the parameters with no equality restrictions. Some parameters may be restricted (e.g. sum of two probabilities may be restricted to equal unity). In this case the total number of parameters may depend on the normalisation.
nObs for number of observations
# Construct a simple OLS regression:
x1 <- runif(100)
x2 <- runif(100)
y <- 3 + 4*x1 + 5*x2 + rnorm(100)
m <- lm(y~x1+x2) # estimate it
summary(m)
nParam(m) # you get 3
