Dear R-list, I have a data set (in the following example called "a") which have:
one "subject indicator" variable (called "id") three dependent variables (varD, varE, var F) three independent variables (varA, varB, varC) I want to fit 9 lme models, one per posible combination (DA, DB, DC, EA, EB, EC, FA, FB, FC). In stead of writting the 9 lme models, I want to do it sistematically (the example is a simplification of what I really have). Here you have the comands for the first model: library(nlme) set.seed(50) a<-data.frame(array(c(rep(1:10,10), rnorm(600)), c(100,7))) names(a)<-c("id", "varA", "varB", "varC", "varD", "varE", "varF") lme(varD ~ varA , random= ~1|id, data=a, na.action="na.exclude") I supossed that a simple sintaxis going through the variables of dataset "a" could cope with it: for(i in 2:4){ for(j in 5:7){ lme(a[,j] ~ a[,i] , random= ~1|id, data=a, na.action="na.exclude") }} but it does not, and the use of eval, as.symbol and so on does not help. for(i in 2:4){ for(j in 5:7){ lme(eval(as.symbol(names(a)[j])) ~ eval(as.symbol(names(a)[i])) , random= ~1|id, data=a, na.action="na.exclude") }} Any help??? Thanks a lot in advance!
