Fit linear models by Generalized Least Squares
lm.gls(formula, data, W, subset, na.action, inverse = FALSE,
method = "qr", model = FALSE, x = FALSE, y = FALSE,
contrasts = NULL, …)
a formula expression as for regression models, of the form
response ~ predictors
.
See the documentation of formula
for other details.
an optional data frame in which to interpret the variables occurring
in formula
.
a weight matrix.
expression saying which subset of the rows of the data should be used in the fit. All observations are included by default.
a function to filter missing data.
logical: if true W
specifies the inverse of the weight matrix: this
is appropriate if a variance matrix is used.
method to be used by lm.fit
.
should the model frame be returned?
should the design matrix be returned?
should the response be returned?
a list of contrasts to be used for some or all of
additional arguments to lm.fit
.
An object of class "lm.gls"
, which is similar to an "lm"
object. There is no "weights"
component, and only a few "lm"
methods will work correctly. As from version 7.1-22 the residuals and
fitted values refer to the untransformed problem.
The problem is transformed to uncorrelated form and passed to
lm.fit
.
