Hi, everyone When I was using cv.lm(DAAG) , I found there might be something wrong with it. The problem is that we can't use it to deal with a linear model with more than one predictor variable. But the usage documentation hasn't informed us about this.
You can find it by excuting the following code: xx=matrix(rnorm(20*3),ncol=3) bb=c(1,2,0) yy=xx%*%bb+rnorm(20,0,10) data=data.frame(y=yy,x=xx) myformula=formula("y ~ x.1 + x.2 + x.3") cv.lm(data,myformula,m=10,plotit=F, printit=TRUE) myformula=formula("y ~ x.1 + x.2") cv.lm(data,myformula,m=10,plotit=F, printit=TRUE) myformula=formula("y ~ x.1 ") cv.lm(data,myformula,m=10,plotit=F, printit=TRUE) What happened? they give three equal mss(mean squared error). Or you can just check the code of function cv.lm(DAAG), then you will find the residues are all derived from a model with only one predictor, but the coefficient of that only one predictor can be calculated from a model with more than one predictors which you've set in the formula term in cv.lm(DAAG), -- Junjie Li, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Undergranduate in DEP of Tsinghua University, [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
