Ozlem, Just read ?formula, where it says:
There are two special interpretations of ‘.’ in a formula. The usual one is in the context of a ‘data’ argument of model fitting functions and means ‘all columns not otherwise in the formula’: see ‘terms.formula’. In the context of ‘update.formula’, *only*, it means ‘what was previously in this part of the formula’. So, lm(y ~ . , data = data) But what do you hope to conclude from an analysis with thousands of dependent variables? Ozlem Yanmaz wrote:
Dear fellow R users, I am trying to conduct a regression analysis. I have thousands of variables. The names are V1, V2,........V2000 Is there an easy way to include these variables in the regression? my model is something like that: model<- lm(y~V1+V2+.....+V2000, data=data) Thanks so much in advance, Ozlem ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
