Re: regression coefficient

You do not "calculate (a) regression coefficient at (the) 95%
confidence level." You [1] calculate a regression coefficient;
then [2] test against the null hypothesis.

The example you sent is ambiguous.
What do printVarSummary(x) and printVarSummary(y) yield

If x(time,lat,lon) and y(time,lat,lon) then

    rc = regCoef(x(lat|:,lon|:,time|:),y(lat|:,lon|:,time|:))

    rc!0 = "lat" ; name dimensions
    rc!1 = "lon"
    rc&lat = y&lat" ; assign coordinate values to named dimensions
    rc&lon = y&lon"

    df = rc@nptxy-2 ; degrees of freedom
    tval = rc@tval ; t-statistic
    b = tval ; b must be same size as tval (and df)
    b = 0.5
    prob = betainc(df/(df+tval^2),df/2.0,b)

   ;copy_VarCoords(rc,prob)
   ;prob@long_name = "probability"
   ;prob@units = "fraction: [0,1]"

   rc95 = where(prob.lt.0.95,rc@_FillValue,rc) ; **** note 0.95 ****
   copy_VarCoords(rc, rc95)
   printVarSummary(rc95)
