[R] Passing arguments to glm()

[Jacques VESLOT]

i forgot a paste():
f.myglm <- function(y=y, subset="x2 == 'yes'", data=d.d.mydata) eval(parse(text=paste("glm(",
deparse(substitute(y)), "~ x1, family=binomial, data=", deparse(substitute(data)), ", subset =,
subset, ")", sep="")))

>>Hi there
>>
>>I want to pass arguments (i.e. the response variable and the subset 
>>argument) in a self-made function to glm.
>>Here is one way I can do this:
>>
>>f.myglm <- function(y,subfact,subval) {
>>  
>>glm(d.mydata[,y]~d.mydata[,'x1'],family=binomial,subset=d.mydata[,subfact]==subval)
>>}
>>
>> > str(d.mydata)
>>`data.frame':    15806 obs. of  3 variables:
>> $ y : Factor w/ 2 levels "no","yes": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 NA 1 1 ...
>> $ x1: Factor w/ 2 levels "no","yes": 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ...
>> $ x2: Factor w/ 2 levels "no","yes": 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 2 ...
>>
>> > f.myglm('y','x2','yes')
>>
>>But is there a way I can pass the arguments and use the data argument of 
>>glm()?
>>In a naive way of thinking I'd like to something like this:
>>f.myglm <- function(y,sub) {
>>  glm(y~x1,family=binomial,data=d.mydata,subset=sub)
>>}
>> > f.myglm(y=y,sub=x2=='yes')
>>
>>I know that's not possible, because the objects y and x2 are not defined 
>>in the user workspace.
>>So, something like passing the arguments as an expression and evaluate 
>>it in the glm function should work, but I didn't manage to do it.
>>
>>I'd appreciate your advice.
