Hi: Here's an example of how to extract pieces from model objects using the plyr package. I'm using the attitude data set from the datasets package (autoloaded).
# Generate four models m1 <- lm(rating ~ ., data = attitude) m2 <- lm(rating ~ complaints + learning, data = attitude) m3 <- lm(rating ~ complaints * learning, data = attitude) m4 <- lm(rating ~ complaints, data = attitude) # Combine them into a list mlist <- list(m1 = m1, m2 = m2, m3 = m3, m4 = m4) # Utility functions: # In this context, x represents a generic model object. We want # to extract the same information from each object. # Can package these (or others) into a single function if you # wish to output a list object. # Sums of squares extraction: ss <- function(x) summary(x)$coefficients[, 2] # R^2 r2 <- function(x) summary(x)$r.squared # Model and residual df: dfs <- function(x) summary(x)$df[1:2] # ldply() takes a list object as input and returns a data frame object # llply() takes a list object as input and returns a list # Each call applies a utility function to each component model in the list library(plyr) ldply(mlist, r2) ldply(mlist, dfs) llply(mlist, ss) HTH, Dennis On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 8:42 AM, Michael Costello < michaelavcoste...@gmail.com> wrote: > Folks, > > I am trying to get a loop to run which increments the object name as part > of > the loop.

Is there a way to do this in R?
