Fellow R users, I have an lm object, from which I would like to extract the list of original variables. The problem I have is the formula includes functions of the covariates.
I tried using "attr", but the result stores the transformed variable name. For example: > my.model<-lm(y ~ a + log(b + 1), data=my.data) > as.character(attr(my.model$terms, "variables"))[-1] [1] "y" "a" "log(b + 1)" But I just want a character vector of the original variables ("y", "a", "b"), not ("y", "a", "log(b + 1)"). Does someone have a solution they could kindly share? Thanks, Iyue ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or l...{{dropped:11}} ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
