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!
