Hi David: If your variables are in a dataframe called DF and the dependent variable is in the first column , you can do below but you probably are well aware of this anyway.

lmresults<-lapply(names(DF[,-1],function(.name) {
  lm(DF[,1] ~ DF[,.name], data=DF)
})

This will run through each of the variables in the dataframe and regress the first column on each variable individually.

Hello and thanks for your reply, but as you said, this is not really what I'm trying to do. My purpose is not one of variable selection within a model with multiple predictors, but simply fitting a large number of models with only one predictor. I was just hoping there would be a solution as simple as the one given in my example which gives the results of many regression models of the type Yi~x where i spans all the colums in a matrix and x is one predictor. My objective being the fitting of many regression models of the type y~Xi where i spans all the columns in a matrix and y is one dependent variable.

The add1 function might be what you want, there is also addterm in the MASS package and the leaps package can do some things along this line (plus more).

But before doing this, you may want to ask yourself what question you are really trying to answer, then explore if this answers that question or not.

Subject: [R] multiple regressions on columns

R-helpers,

A quick question regarding my wanting to run multiple regressions
without writing a loop.
Looking at a previous discussion :
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/07/02/9740.html

my objective is to do the "opposite", i.e. instead of having the same
independent variable and testing it against multiple dependent
variables, my goal is to test multiple independent variables against
the same dependent variable.

Using the iris dataset:

iris4 <- as.matrix(iris[,-c(1,5)])
summary(lm(iris4 ~ Sepal.Length, iris))

what I would have liked is to do the following :

summary(lm(Sepal.Length ~ iris4, iris))

and obtain the results from 3 separate regressions, as above, instead
of one multiple regression...

Any clues ?

Tanks in advance
