Dear R fans, I have got a difficult sounding problem. For fitting a linear model using continuous response and then for re-fitting the model after excluding every single variable, the following functions can be used. library(MASS) model = lm(perf ~ syct + mmin + mmax + cach + chmin + chmax, data = cpus) dropterm(model, test = "F")
But I am not sure whether any similar functions is available in R for multivariate data with categorical response. My data looks like the following: mat <- matrix(rnorm(700), ncol=5, dimnames=list( paste("f", c(1:140), sep="_"), c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"))) There are 140 features describing 5 different plant species. I want to retain only those features that show good performance in model (by using a function similar to dropterm, which can not be used for mlm objects). I wud appreciate some hints n suggestions.
