Dear all, I would like to Boostrap the stepAIC() procedure from package MASS for variety of model objects, i.e.,
fn <- function(object, data, B = 2){ n <- nrow(data) res <- vector(mode = "list", length = B) index <- sample(n, n * B, replace = TRUE) dim(index) <- c(n, B) for (i in 1:B) { up.obj <- update(object, data = data[index[, i], ]) res[[i]] <- stepAIC(up.obj, trace = FALSE) } res } #################### library(MASS) # 'glm' objects x1 <- runif(100, -4, 4) x2 <- runif(100, -4, 4) y <- 1 + 2 * x1 + rnorm(100, sd = 3) dat <- data.frame(y, x1, x2) glmFit <- glm(y ~ x1 + x2, data = dat) fn(glmFit, data = dat) # 'aov' objects quine.hi <- aov(log(Days + 2.5) ~ .^4, quine) fn(quine.hi, data = quine) However, for "negbin" objects returned by glm.nb() the following problem occurs: quine.nb <- glm.nb(Days ~ .^4, data = quine) fn(quine.nb, data = quine) Any hints to overcome this are greatly appreciated.
