问题
I'm trying to subset variables by significant P-values, and I attempted with the following code, but it only selects all variables instead of selecting by condition. Could anyone help me to correct the problem?
myvars <- names(summary(backward_lm)$coefficients[,4] < 0.05)
happiness_reduced <- happiness_nomis[myvars]
Thanks!

An alternative solution to Martin's great answer (in the comments section) using the broom
package. Unfortunately, you haven't posted an data, so I'm using the mtcars
dataset as a demo:
library(broom)
# build model
m = lm(disp ~ ., data = mtcars)
# create a dataframe frm model's output
tm = tidy(m)
# visualise dataframe of the model
# (using non scientific notation of numbers)
options(scipen = 999)
tm
# term estimate std.error statistic p.value

The main advantage is that by obtaining the model's output as a dataframe you can use variable names, and not variable positions and row names, to manipulate the data.
I'm using options(scipen = 999)
to make it easier to check that filtering works (i.e. not using the scientific notation of numbers in the dataframe).
