Re: [R] by function does not separate output from function with mulliple parts

Colleagues,


I have written an R function (see fully annotated code below), with which I 
want to process a dataframe within levels of the variable StepType. My program 
works, it processes the data within levels of StepType, but the usual headers 
that separate the output by levels of StepType are at the end of the listing 
rather than being used as separators, i.e. I get

Regression results StepType First
Contrast results StepType First
Regression results StepType Second
Contrast results StepType Second

and only after the results are displayed do I get the usual separators:
mydata$StepType: First
NULL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mydata$StepType: Second
NULL


What I want to get is output that includes the separators i.e.,

mydata$StepType: First
Regression results StepType First
Contrast results StepType First
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mydata$StepType: Second
Regression results StepType Second
Contrast results StepType Second

Can you help me get the separators included in the printed otput?
Thank you,
John

Hello,

What you are seeing is the prints and cats in the function DoReg, notits output. The code below works as expected.

Also, you didn't load the package where function contrast() is found.


library(contrast)

DoReg <- function(x){
  fit0 <- lm(as.numeric(HipFlex) ~ jSex,data=x)

  contrast(
    fit0,

    b=list(jSex="Female")
  )
}
