Can someone send me something I can read about passing parameters so I can
understand how lm manages to have a dataframe passed to it, and use columns
from the dataframe to set up a regression. I have looked at the code for lm and
don't understand what I am reading. What I want to do is something like the
following,
myfunction <- function(y,x,dataframe){
fit0 <- lm(y~x,data=dataframe)
print (summary(fit0))
}
# Run the function using dep and ind as dependent and independent variables.
mydata <- data.frame(dep=c(1,2,3,4,5),ind=c(1,2,4,5,7))
myfunction(dep,ind)
# Run the function using outcome and predictor as dependent and independent
variables.
newdata <- data.frame(outcome=c(1,2,3,4,5),predictor=c(1,2,4,5,7))
myfunction(outcome,predictor)
