Manipulating formulas within different models I notice the following: m1 <- lm(formula = hp ~ cyl, data = mtcars) m2 <- update(m1, formula. = hp ~ cyl) all.equal(m1, m2) #> [1] TRUE identical(m1, m2) #> [1] FALSE waldo::compare(m1, m2) #> `old$call[[2]]` is a call #> `new$call[[2]]` is an S3 object of class <formula>, a call
I'm aware formulas are a form of call but what I'm unsure of is whether there is meaningful difference between the two versions of the models? Any clarification, even just on the relation between formulas and calls would be useful. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
