Dear all; Is there any way to make this to work?:
.x<-rnorm(50,10,3) .y<-.x+rnorm(50,0,1) X<-data.frame(.x,.y) colnames(X)<-c("Xvar","Yvar") Ytext<-"Yvar" lm(Ytext~Xvar,data=X) # doesn't run lm(Yvar~Xvar,data=X) # does run The main idea is to use Ytext as input in a function, so you just type "Yvar" and the model should fit.... Also, I need to avoid the expression X$Yvar~X$Xvar Thanks for any idea PM ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
