My objective is to run anova between my Principal components and the variables which are here Sex,fAge,Index,Lane,Gen .
The way it is being run now is this
For PC1
anova(lm(PC1 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
For PC2
anova(lm(PC2 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
For PC3
anova(lm(PC3 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
Similarly for other PCs
anova(lm(PC4 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
anova(lm(PC5 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
anova(lm(PC6 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
anova(lm(PC7 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
anova(lm(PC8 ~ Sex*fAge, data=mrna.pcs))
So these are only for Sex and Age if i have to run for the rest of the predictors I have to run them individually. Here it is okay since I have small no of PCs but I have data which runs into quite a bit of PCs and other traits/predictors.
So my question is how is there way to set up them to run them in one go such that it can test each PCs vs all the predictors.
For example
PC1 ~ Sex
PC1 ~ Sex+fAge
PC1 ~ Sex+fAge+Index
PC1 ~ Sex+fAge+Index+Lane
PC1 ~ Sex+fAge+Index+Lane+Gen
The same for other PCs as well
Consider lapply on the PCs, combn on all combinations of non-PC columns, and reformulate for formula build
# RESPONSE AND TRAIT COLUMN VECTORS
PC_cols <- names(mrna.pcs)[grep("PC", names(mrna.pcs))]
traits <- names(mrna.pcs)[-1][grep("PC", names(mrna.pcs)[-1], invert=TRUE)]
# GENERALILZED METHOD TO RUN DYNAMIC MODEL
run_model <- function(PC, traits) {
fml <- reformulate(traits, response=PC)
anova(lm(fml, data=mrna.pcs))
}
# NAMED LIST OF ANOVA OBJECTS
anova_list <- sapply(
PC_cols,
function(PC) lapply(
seq_along(traits),
function(i) combn(traits, i, FUN=function(t) run_model(PC, t))
),
simplify = FALSE
)
# ACCESS ELEMENTS
anova_list$PC1
anova_list$PC2
anova_list$PC3
...
anova_list$PC8
To debug any problematic independent and dependent variables, have anonymous functions print the iterating variable. Review last printed items when error occurs.
anova_list <- sapply(
PC_cols,
function(PC) {
print(PC)
lapply(
seq_along(traits),
function(i) {
print(traits)
combn(traits, i, FUN=function(t) run_model(PC, t))
}
)
},
simplify = FALSE
