Tidying Linear Model Results with dplyr and Broom for Predictive Analytics
You want to run lm(Var1 ~ Var2 + Var3 + Var4 + Var5, data=df) for each group in the dataframe and then tidy the results. You can use dplyr with group_by and summarise. Here is how you can do it:
library(dplyr) library(broom) df %>% group_by(Year) %>% summarise(broom::tidy(lm(Var1 ~ Var2 + Var3 + Var4 + Var5, data = .))) This will tidy the results of each linear model for each year and return a dataframe with the coefficients.
