There was some discussion on twitter about the fact that the manual
page for as.formula() doesn't mention reformulate(), and indeed the last
example is
## Create a formula for a model with a large number of variables:
xnam <- paste0("x", 1:25)
(fmla <- as.formula(paste("y ~ ", paste(xnam, collapse= "+"))))
which could arguably be better done as
reformulate(xname, response = "y")
I've attached a documentation patch that adds the alternative version
and a \seealso{} link.
Happy to submit to r-bugzilla if requested.
cheers
