Thanks for the suggestion, Somon! I did try glht from multcomp package, but the problem is that for the hypothesis
H0: TypeT1 =0 and TypeT2 = 0 it gives results for two separate hypotheses H01: TypeT1 =0 and H02: TypeT2 = 0, not exactly one statistic for the original hypothesis H0. So my question is, how can I get only one statistic for H0? Any more suggestions?
