Hello R users, I am new to R and am wondering if anyone can help me out with the following issue: I wrote a function to build ts models using different inputs, but when R displays the call for a model, I cannot tell which variables it is using because it shows the arguments instead of the real variables passed to the function.
(e.g Call: lm(formula = dyn(dep ~ lag(dep, -1) + indep)) ---> not what I want to see lm(formula = dyn(Y ~ lag(Y, -1) + XVARY)) -----> this is what I want to see (see simplified version of the code and output below) Thanks in advance for any help!! options (scipen=999, digits=7) library(Hmisc) library(DAAG) library(car) library(MASS) library(nlme) library(dyn) library(zoo) tdata <- ts(read.table("C:/R/testing/data.csv" ,sep = ",",header=TRUE)) print(tdata) coeff <- function(dep, indep) { mod <- dyn$lm(dep ~ lag(dep, -1)+ indep) summ <- summary(mod) res <- list(COEF=summ) } out <- coeff(tdata[ ,"Y"], tdata[ ,"XVARY"]); out #########output############# > print(tdata) Time Series: Start = 1 End = 20 Frequency = 1 Unit Y XVARY K DWAY 1 1 3 2 4 50 2 2 5 3 9 50 3 3 6 11 22 50 4 4 8 4 7 2 5 5 9 11 11 2 6 6 12 13 13 2 7 7 23 25 12 2 8 8 22 30 31 3 9 9 23 3 3 3 10 10 19 21 21 32 11 11 3 2 4 34 12 12 5 3 9 4 13 13 6 11 22 4 14 14 8 4 7 4 15 15 9 11 11 4 16 16 12 13 13 4 17 17 23 25 12 4 18 18 22 30 31 4 19 19 23 3 3 4 20 20 19 21 21 5 > > coeff <- function(dep, indep) { + + mod <- dyn$lm(dep ~ lag(dep, -1)+ indep) + summ <- summary(mod) + res <- list(COEF=summ) } > > out <- coeff(tdata[ ,"Y"], tdata[ ,"XVARY"]); out $COEF Call: lm(formula = dyn(dep ~ lag(dep, -1) + indep)) Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -10.7157 -2.5454 -0.2090 0.8359 7.3292 Coefficients: Estimate Std.
