I have a few questions about using add1(). First of all, according to the R document of add1(), the trace = TRUE function prints out progress reports but my attempts to do this have failed several times. So how do we print out the progress reports of adding terms to the model so as to test for improved fit (or not)? Also, why the LRT (likelihood-ratio test) value is not in the output? Any help is greatly appreciated! Example as follows:
require(graphics); require(utils) lm1 <- lm(Fertility ~ ., data = swiss) add1(lm1, scope = .~. + .^2, test="Chisq", trace = TRUE) #It seems that no progress report has been printed. Also `LRT` is missing Single term additions Model: Fertility ~ Agriculture + Examination + Education + Catholic + Infant.Mortality Df Sum of Sq RSS AIC Pr(>Chi) <none> 2105 191 Agriculture:Examination 1 10.7 2094 192 0.6251 Agriculture:Education 1 1.8 2103 193 0.8399 Agriculture:Catholic 1 75.0 2030 191 0.1915 Agriculture:Infant.Mortality 1 4.4 2101 193 0.7528 Examination:Education 1 48.7 2056 192 0.2943 Examination:Catholic 1 40.8 2064 192 0.3378 Examination:Infant.Mortality 1 65.9 2039 191 0.2216 Education:Catholic 1 278.2 1827 186 0.0099 ** Education:Infant.Mortality 1 93.0 2012 191 0.1451 Catholic:Infant.Mortality 1 2.4 2103 193 0.8184 --- Signif. codes: 0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1 Best, Chao [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
