Linear Regression tool, An option for the Intercept to be forced to a value

When I checked out if there is a way to force the intercept to 0 or some other constant value, it's not doable from the tool configurations.

So manually we can have "0" intercept in linear regression this way (edit the macro's R tool)

 

cars.lm <- lm(dist ~ speed, data = cars)
cars.lm2 <- lm(dist ~ 0 + speed, data = cars) 
summary(cars.lm)

# Adding the 0 term tells the lm() to fit the line through the origin

 

So a minor addition of a tickbox will solve that and make that linear regression tool more flexible i guess...

 

Best...
