Dear helpers, I've come up with what is probably a simple problem, but I cannot find the solution. I have a data-set containing survey-data from several countries. What I want to do is to perform some regression analyses, for each country separately. The question is, how to do this nicely (thus without repeating the same syntax with another `subset' argument). I thought of the following: model.per.country <- tapply(data, data$COUNTRY, function(x) glm (dependent.var ~ FEMALE + AGE + EDUCLIN + (), family=binomial, data=capital)) But this does not work. What goes wrong, I think, is that the dependent variable is clustered according to `Country', but not so for the predictors. The error message I received: Error in tapply(dat, dat$COUNTRY, function(x) glm(participate ~ FEMALE + : arguments must have same length > Could you please help me solving this little problem? Thanks in advance: Rense Nieuwenhuis [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
try something like this (untested):
dataCountry <- split(data, data$COUNTRY)
model.per.country <- lapply(dataCountry, function (x) {
glm(dependent.var ~ FEMALE + AGE + EDUCLIN, family = binomial,
data = x)
})
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris
