You mention 3 models. In all of them, the '-1' simply removes
the intercept term; help('formula') explains the use of '-'
in general.

1. lm(y~ x * w - 1)  is clearly explained in help('formula');
2. lm(y~ x:w - 1)   ditto (and this is a model to avoid);
3. lm(y~ x/w - 1)   this is equivalent to lm(y~ x + w %in% x - 1)
where the %in% operator is explained in help('formula'). A good
and simple example is found in the MASS book (chapter 6) the code
for which is available in the 'Scripts' subfolder of library/MASS
of your R installation.

formulas...

Thank you!

Hi Michael,

This is far from exhaustive (I wrote it as an introduction some years
ago) but you may find it useful to start:

Hi all,

Could you please point me to good materials on various
tricks/intuitions/techniques of regression, and hopefully in R?

For example, what does lm(y~ x * w - 1) mean vs. lm(y ~ x/w -1 ) vs. lm
(y
~ x:w-1), etc...

I just found that even simple linear regression is not that simple and
there are a lot of tricks/techniques in using them...

Hopefully I can find good materials on these!

Thank you!
