From ?glm:
formula: a symbolic description of the model to be fit. The details of
model specification are given below.
which could be clearer. It needs to be a object of type 'formula'.
I believe as.formula(modelstructure[i]) will do what you want (but your
posting has come out rather awkwardly laid out in double spacing).

Hello
I want to batch job the calculation of many GLM-models, extract some values and
store them in a file. Almost everything in the script below works (read file,
extract values and write them to file) except I fail in indexing the GLM with
the modelstructure it should run. Running GLM's conventionally is no problem.
Conventionally a GLM is calculated as:
--------------------------------------
glm(ZlogHRS ~ ZRi+ZE+ZPROX_MN+ZED+ZAlwd+ZT2+ZW+ZN+Sex+y, family = gaussian,
data=t.data)
(just a note: dependent variable is ZlogHRS, while the others are indepent
variables)
Desired way: sequentially run GLM
---------------------------------
I want R to take the model structure to take from a vector called
"modelstructure" and paste it into the GLM like:
glm(modelstructure[i], family = gaussian, data=t.data).
It would considerably ease my workload if there is a solution to the indexing
problem within a GLM. I appreciate any hint.
Best regards
Lukas
p.s.
