Re: [R] dynamically specifying regressors/RHS variables in a regression

2007-05-05 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
Using the builtin data frame CO2 this regresses uptake, which is
variable number 5, against each consecutive pair of variables:

for(i in 1:3) {
   idx - c(i, i+1, 5)
   print(lm(uptake ~., CO2[idx]))
}

 More specifically, I have a data set in long format that details a
 number of individuals and their responses to a question (which can be
 positive, negative, or no answer).  Each individual answers as many
 questions as they want, so there are a different number of rows per
 individual.

 For each number of questions, I want to run a logit on all the
 individuals who saw that many questions, predicting whether they
 choose to answer anymore afterwards by their choices on the earlier
 questions.

 the second logit would look like
 answered_only_2~answer_1_pos+answer_1_neg+answer_2_pos+answer_2_neg

 This will result in over 100 regressions, with different numbers of
 RHS variables.  I'd like to iterate over the sequence of numbers and
 run a logit for each, but I can't find any means for dynamically
 generating the RHS variable from an array, or vector.  The only way I
 can think of to write the function would still require the same number
 of RHS variables in each regression.

 Is there a way to dynamically generate the right hand side?
