If David's response is what you were seeking, I would then ask: homework?? In general, explicit model matrices are not needed for linear modeling in R.
Still not clear what you meant by "reparametrization," but if David's interpretation is correct, my "impossible" comment is clearly wrong. -- Bert On Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 1:30 PM, Bert Gunter <bgun...@gene.com> wrote: > 1.
