Hello,
I'm new to R, but I've read the intro to R and successfully connected it
to an instance of mysql. I'm trying to perform multiple linear regression,
but I'm having trouble using the lm function. To start, I have read in a
simply y matrix of values(dependent variable) and x matrix of independent
variables. It says both are data frames, but lm is giving me an error that my y
variable is a list.
Any suggestions on how to do this? It's not clear to me what the problem is
as they're both data frames. My actual problem will use a much wider matrix
of coefficients, I've only included two for illustration.
Additionally, I'd actually like to weight the observations. How would I go
about doing that? I also have that as a separate column vector.
Thanks,
Aaron
