DF <- data.frame(factor1=rep(1:4,1000), factor2 = rep(1:4,each=1000),base = rnorm(4000,0,1),dep=rnorm(4000,400,5))
DF$f1_1 = DF$factor1 == 1
DF$f1_2 = DF$factor1 == 2
DF$f1_3 = DF$factor1 == 3
DF$f1_4 = DF$factor1 == 4
DF$f2_1 = DF$factor2 == 1
DF$f2_2 = DF$factor2 == 2
DF$f2_3 = DF$factor2 == 3
DF$f2_4 = DF$factor2 == 4
I want to run the following regression:
Dep = (f1_1 + f1_2 + f1_3 + f1_4)*(f2_1 + f2_2 + f2_3 + f2_4)*(base+base^2+base^3+base^4+base^5)
Is there a smarter way to do it?
回答1:
You should code factor1 and factor2 as real factor variables. Also, it is better to use poly for polynomials. Here is what we can do:
DF <- data.frame(factor1=rep(1:4,1000), factor2 = rep(1:4,each=1000),
base = rnorm(4000,0,1), dep = rnorm(4000,400,5))
DF$factor1 <- as.factor(DF$factor1)
DF$factor2 <- as.factor(DF$factor2)
fit <- lm(dep ~ factor1 * factor2 * poly(base, degree = 5))
By default, poly generates orthogonal basis for numerical stability. If you want ordinary polynomials like base + base ^ 2 + base ^ 3 + ..., use poly(base, degree = 5, raw = TRUE).
Be aware, you will get lots of parameters from this model, as you are fitting a fifth order polynomial for each pair of levels between factor1 and factor2.
Consider a small example.
set.seed(0)
f1 <- sample(gl(3, 20, labels = letters[1:3])) ## randomized balanced factor
f2 <- sample(gl(3, 20, labels = LETTERS[1:3])) ## randomized balanced factor
x <- runif(3 * 20) ## numerical covariate
y <- rnorm(3 * 20) ## toy response
fit <- lm(y ~ f1 * f2 * poly(x, 2))
#Call:
#lm(formula = y ~ f1 * f2 * poly(x, 2))

# -9.8476 10.6664 4.5582
Note, even for 3 factor levels each and a 3rd order polynomial, we already end up with great number of coefficients.

Using I () forces the formula to treat +-×/ as arithmetic rather than model operators. Example: lm (y ~ I (x1 +x2))
