I'm trying to get the following section of code to work, I think the problem is being caused by the assignment of data to the lm function not evaluating to "train" in the parent environment but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
fitmodel <- function(trial,data) { wrap.lm <- function(formula,data,...) { cat("in wrap lm",NROW(data),"\n"); lm(formula,data,...) } wrap.step <- function(object,scope,...) { cat("in wrap step",NROW(train),"\n"); step(object,scope,...) } train <- data[1:tr...@n,] null <- as.formula("y ~ 1") full <- as.formula("y ~ 1 + x1 + x2") cat("in fit",NROW(train),"\n") model <- do.call(tr...@fit$func,tr...@fit$args) print(model$call) select <- do.call(tr...@step$func,tr...@step$args) } mydf <- data.frame(y <- runif(100),x1 <- runif(100),x2 <- runif(100)) myfit <- list(func="wrap.lm",args=alist(formula=null,data=train)) mystep <- list(func="wrap.step",args=alist(object=model,scope=full,trace=0)) setClass("trial",representation(n="numeric",fit="list",step="list")) trial1 <- new("trial",n=50,fit=myfit,step=mystep) trial2 <- new("trial",n=75,fit=myfit,step=mystep) result <- lapply(list(trial1,trial2),fitmodel,mydf) print(coef(result[[1]])) print(coef(result[[2]])) cat("result #1",NROW(result[[1]]$model),"\n") cat("result #2",NROW(result[[2]]$model),"\n") The resulting output is: in fit 50 in wrap lm 50 lm(formula = formula, data = data) in wrap step 50 in fit 75 in wrap lm 75 lm(formula = formula, data = data) in wrap step 75 (Intercept) 0.5276266 (Intercept) 0.5276266 result #1 100 result #2 100 I think what is happening is that step is reassigning the "data" for lm to the fitmodel environment thus using resulting in using 100 rows. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/working-with-eval-and-environments-tp2545939p2545939.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
