Try this:

y <- rnorm(100)
X <- matrix(runif(100 * 10), ncol = 10)

lm(y ~ ., data = cbind.data.frame(y, X))

Dear All,I would like to do multiple regression in R. I used: lm(y~X),
where y is a n by 1 vector, and X is a n by m matrix. I kept getting the error
message:Error in model.frame.default(formula = y ~ X,? : ?invalid type (list)
for variable 'X'. However, when I used: lm(y~X[,1]+X[,2]+X[,3]+?+X[,m]),
it
works well, but this is not the form I prefer, it makes my codes
complicated.Please help.Thank you very much,Jane
