DeaR list I would like to predict the values of each column of a matrix A by regressing it on all other columns of the same matrix A. I do this with a for loop:
A <- B <- matrix(round(runif(10*3,1,10),0),10) A for (i in 1:length(A[1,])) B[,i] <- as.matrix(predict(lm( A[,i] ~ A[,-i] ))) B It works fine, but I need it to be faster. I've looked at *apply but just can't seem to figure it out. Maybe the solution could look somewhat like this: mylm <- function(y,ci) { x <- A[,-ci] b <- lm(y~x) } B <- apply(A,2,mylm,ci=current_column_index(A)) Is there a way to pass the index of the current column in apply to my function? Am I on the right path at all? Thanks for your help.
