a) What is the purpose of numbers? Why not write
paste("model",i)
b) Why assign( ... ) <- ... ? Don't you just want
assign(paste("model",i),lm(temp$Overall.Scaledxxx))
c) Why are you assigning to variables named `model 1` etc. instead of making
a list of all the models? e.g.
models <- sapply( 1:50, function(i) ... )
-s
