try this: MRfit <- function (...) { models <- list(...) do.call(anova, models) }
I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris AC Del Re wrote:
Hi All, I am interested in creating a function that will take x number of lm objects and automate the comparison of each model (using anova). Here is a simple example (the actual function will involve more than what Im presenting but is irrelevant for the example): # sample data: id<-rep(1:20) n<-c(10,20,13,22,28,12,12,36,19,12,36,75,33,121,37,14,40,16,14,20) r<-c(.68,.56,.23,.64,.49,-.04,.49,.33,.58,.18,-.11,.27,.26,.40,.49, .51,.40,.34,.42,.16) mod2<-factor(c(rep(c(1,2,3,4),5))) da<-data.frame(id, n, r, mod1, mod2) reg0<-lm(da$r ~ 1) reg1<-lm(da$r ~ da$mod1) reg2<-lm(da$r ~ da$mod1 + da$mod2) # This is as far as I get with the function: MRfit <- function( ...) { models <- list(...) fit<- anova(models) return(fit) } MRfit(reg0,reg1,reg2) # This is what I get from R: # Error in UseMethod("anova") : # no applicable method for 'anova' applied to an object of class "list" # which makes sense, but Im not sure how to work with this list considering the desired output. # Ideally I would like to get: MRfit(reg0,reg1,reg2) # I know that I could just do anova(reg0,reg1, reg2) but the actual function will have additional functions integrated Analysis of Variance Table Model 1: da$r ~ 1 Model 2: da$r ~ da$mod1 Model 3: da$r ~ da$mod1 + da$mod2 Res.Df RSS Df Sum of Sq F Pr(>F) 1 19 0.83848 2 18 0.78668 1 0.051803 1.1230 0.3060 3 15 0.69193 3 0.094747 0.6847 0.5752 Any help is much appreciated!
