Not sure what you really want, my best guess is you are looking for get():
best <- get(best) Uwe Ligges On 29.12.2010 18:31, Patrick McKann wrote:
I seem to come to this problem alot, and I can find my way out of it with a loop, but I wish, and wonder if there is a better way. Here's an example (lmer1-5 are a series of lmer objects): bs=data.frame(bic=BIC(lmer1,lmer2,lmer3,lmer4,lmer5)$BIC) rownames(bs)=c('lmer1','lmer2','lmer3','lmer4','lmer5') best=rownames(bs)[bs==min(bs)]best[1] "lmer5" This tells me that lmer5 is the model with the lowest BIC. I want to start working with lmer5 as the best model, such as fixef(best) to get the fixed effect estimates from lmer5. I tried best=as.object('lmer5') but of course this doesn't work because that is not a real function. Does anybody see what I'm getting at? If so, do you know a way to do this without a loop or series of if statements? Thank you!
