There are functions which use variable names as parameters in some R
packages. However, if the variable name is stored in another variable, how
can I pass this variable to the function. Taking the "rms" package as an
example:
library(rms)
n <- 1000
age <- rnorm(n, 50, 10)
sex <- factor(sample(c('female','male'), n,TRUE))
y <- rnorm(n, 200, 25)
ddist <- datadist(age, sex)
options(datadist='ddist')
fit <- lrm(y ~ age)
Predict(fit, age, np=4)
options(datadist=NULL)
Here "age" was a variable name passed to Predict() function, but if "age"
was stored in variable "var", that is, var <- "age", how can I pass "var"
to Predict() function? The purpose is that I want to change the parameter
of Predict() in a loop.
