*Dear experts,* Please excuse me for disturbing... Right now I am struggling with GLM a bit... Would you be so kind to provide me a solution on using nuisance variables. The problem is that I have data on Depression (volumetric measurements of different brain regions) and I want to include age, gender and education as nuisance parameters in the model. In the other words I would like to model the model depression scores in respect to volumes, considering the mentioned variables as nuisance ones.
Could you please tell me if this is correct (example data = "iris"): Let's say, I want to "explain" Sepal.Length (independent variable) by Sepal.Width (dependent one) considering Petal.Width and Species as nuisance variables... Therefor my code should be: try = glm(Sepal.Length~Sepal.Width - Petal.Length - Species, data=iris); Sorry if it looks stupid... But I didn't manage to find any information on nuisance variables in R... -- *Best Regards,* *Alexander Lebedev* Stavanger University Hospital, Dept. of Psychiatry, 4011, Armauer Hansens vei 20, Stavanger, Norway. researcher [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
