Hello,

The "error" is just a warning, these are not the same thing. And the warning says that you're giving a wrong scope argument, one that includes the response. See ?add1. Argument 'scope' is "a formula giving the terms to be considered for adding or dropping." And you're passing the entire data.frame, not just the regressors.
To get rid of the warning, try the following.

add1(mydata.lm, ~ A + B + C + D, test='F')

Hope this helps,

Hi

I am trying to build a regression model. My data looks like this:

A       B       C       D               E
1       1       1       2.57    5
2       0       0       1.64    3
0       5       1       4.8             1
1       3       0       3.56    168
1       1       1       2.13    1
0       3       1       5               168
2       0       0       7.75    28
4       0       2       2.85    168
3       0       1       1.89    6
1       1       1       2.33    3
3       2       2       1.77    168
1       0       0       1.38    0.04
0       6       1       4.57    168
2       2       2       2.86    1
3       1       1       4.11    168
3       0       2       3                84
1       1       1       2.5              56

where E is a response variable and A, B, C, D are predictor variables. Below
are commands which I enter in R:

str (mydata)
mydata.lm = lm (E ~ 1, data = mydata) # to create a blank model
add1(mydata.lm, mydata, test='F') # to add the best predictor variable to
the blank model

However at this point the message appears:

Warning messages:
1: In model.matrix.default(Terms, m, contrasts.arg = object$contrasts) :
   the response appeared on the right-hand side and was dropped
2: In model.matrix.default(Terms, m, contrasts.arg = object$contrasts) :
   problem with term 4 in model.matrix: no columns are assigned

What does it mean ? Could you please help ?
