Effortlessly Extract R-squared Values from Multiple Regression Models in R

When working with multiple regression analysis in R, you may find yourself needing to extract and display results from several regression models stored as a list. This is particularly useful when you're comparing models or summarizing results for reporting. In this guide, we’ll explore how to print regression summaries for all models in one command, and also how to extract R-squared and adjusted R-squared values into a single dataframe.

The Problem: Displaying Results from Multiple Models

You have performed multiple regression analyses and saved the results in a list (for example, lm_results), where each element corresponds to a regression model applied to different subsets of your data. You might want to display the summaries of all these models neatly without running multiple commands.

Here's how you might have been doing it for one model:

However, if you want to iterate over all models and extract results efficiently, it can be cumbersome unless you know the right approach. Moreover, you specifically want to extract all R-squared values consolidating them in a structured format.

The Solution: Using lapply for Efficient Iteration

Step 1: Printing All Regression Summaries

To print the summaries of multiple regression models, you can use the lapply function, which allows you to apply a function over a list.

Here's a concise method to print summaries:

However, this won't store your results in a new object. If you want, you can save them into a list as well by using:

Step 2: Extracting R-squared and Adjusted R-squared Values

You can also extract just the R-squared values from each model summary with a simple command. Below are two options to do this.

Option 1: Using list indexing

Option 2: Accessing directly by name

Example Output

For example, if your list of models includes model1 and model2, you might see outputs like:

Conclusion

With these straightforward commands, you can efficiently summarize and extract important metrics from your regression models in R. Using lapply, you can run operations over lists without getting bogged down in repetitive code. This technique not only saves time but also allows for cleaner and more organized results, making it easier to interpret your analysis output.

By following this guide, you can streamline your regression analysis in R, setting a solid foundation for deeper insights into your data. Happy coding!
