Hi,
I am having difficulty entering a 'programmable' argument into the multinom
function from the nnet package. Interactively, I can get the function to work
fine by calling it this way:
z1=multinom(formula = class.ind(grp[-outgroup])~ (PC1 + PC2 + PC3),
data=data.frame(scores))
However I need to be able to change the number of variables I am looking for in
'scores' and so am trying to call it this way...
z1=multinom(formula = class.ind(grp[-outgroup])~ eval(parse(text=PCnames)),
data=data.frame(scores))
...where, for example, PCnames = c("PC1", "+", "PC2", "+", "PC3")
This gives no error messages, but only the last variable (in this case PC3)
gets considered in the model. z1 looks like this:
(Intercept) eval(parse(text = PCnames))
2 3.530352 -116.87140
3 -1.308613 13.59134
4 3.662172 -57.52198
5 -1.216041 -242.38827
6 -9.377894 -367.71614
7 -3.145738 -286.19766
Rather than this:
(Intercept) PC1 PC2 PC3
2 288.97131 889.281 3776.5837 -2105.751
3 -712.53519 2775.663 8490.5724 8602.834
4 229.17772 4234.950 329.6995 -2182.238
5 85.54585 -3036.657 3968.2517 -3450.070
6 -676.55377 -9545.785 2422.5340 -7183.686
7 -631.91921 10997.432 -3310.2905 -5348.513
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
