Dear Rui,

Thanks for your time.

I have a question though, when I run the 5 regression, whose outputs
are stored in "lm.list[i]", I only get the coefficients for the
Intercept, Price, Trend & Seasonality as below

lm.list[1]

[[1]]

Call:

lm(formula = as.formula(fmla), data = tryout)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)       Price4        Trend  Seasonality

    9923123     -2606826        64616       551392

summ.list <- lapply(lm.list, summary)
coef.list <- lapply(summ.list, coef)
coef.list

I am also looking out for t stats and p value and R squared.

For the r.squared

rsq.vec <- sapply(summ.list, "$", "r.squared") adj.rsq <-
sapply(summ.list, "$", "adj.r.squared")

Do you know,
how can I get all these statistics. Also, why is " as.formula " used
in the lm function. It should work without that as well, right?

No.

Can you please tell me, why the code that I had written, does not
work with R. I thought it should work perfectly.

In R there is a difference between expression objects and character

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

Try the following.


#cnames <- names(tryout)  # in your code, use this one cnames <-
c("Volume", "Price1", "Price2", "Price3", "Price4", "Price5",
"Trend", "Seasonaliy")

price <- cnames[grep("Price", cnames)] resp <- cnames[1] regr <-
cnames[7:8]

#lm.list <- vector("list", 5)
for(i in 1:5){
    regress <- paste(price[i], paste(regr, collapse = "+"), sep = "+")
    fmla <- paste(resp, regress, sep = "~")
    print(fmla)
    #lm.list[[i]] <- lm(as.formula(fmla), data = tryout) }

Hope this helps,

Hi,


I am trying to run many different regressions using a FOR Loop.


The input data that is read into R has the following variables

.         Volume
.         Price2
.         Price3
.         Price4
.         Price5
.         Trend
.         Seasonality

I want to run 5 regressions, with the Volume as an dependent variable
and

Price, Trend & Seasonality as independent variables. I have read the
above

mentioned variables in a variable called "tryout"



I am entering the following syntax in R


for(i in 1:5)

+ {
+ result[i]=lm(Volume~Price[i]+Trend+Seasonaliy,data=tryout)
+ summary(result[i])
+ }

After running these lines.I am getting the following error message
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'Price' not found

Can someone help me out with this error message. Appreciate for your
time

and consideration.
