Hi All,

I have a large data set with many columns of data. One of these columns is a
species identifier and the remainder are variables such as temperature or
mass. Currently I am carrying out a single regression on subsets of the data
set, e.g. separated data sets with only the data from one species at a time.
I have been searching for a thread that will help me to understand how best
to repeat this process for each different species identifier in that
variable column. I can’t seem to find one that is similar to what I am
trying to do. It might be the case that I am not looking for the right thing
or that I do not fully understand the process.

How do I run a simple loop that produces a regression for each species as
identified in the variable species id, which is one column in the large data
set that I am using?

Simple regression that I wish to repeat

data<- read.table("…/STUDY.txt",header=T)
names(data)
model<- with(data,{lm(o2con~bm)})
summary(model)


sample data set

species id      o2con       bm
1               0.5         5
1               0.6         2
1               0.4         4
1               0.4         2
1               0.5         3
2               0.3         7
2               0.4         8
2               0.5         3
2               0.7         4
2               0.9         2
3               0.3         6
3               0.7         2
3               0.4         1
3               0.3         7
5               0.3         2
5               0.6         1
5               0.9         7
5               0.2         5

I would be very grateful for some help with this. I really like using R and
I can usually figure out what I want to do but I have been trying to figure
this out for a while now and I am getting nowhere. 

Thank you.
