[R] Manipulating code?

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Its not entirely clear to me what you want to do but these will
do the indicated regression on the subset of the data for which
Species is "setosa" and then do it again but for the subset for
which Species is "virginica":

lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, iris, subset = Species == "setosa")
lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, iris, subset = Species == "virginica")

Does that answer your question?
