Passing list as columns in a data table

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Boston Housing.jmp" );

itemsY = {"chas"};
itemsX = {"crim", "indus", "nox", "rooms", "age", "distance", "radial"};

obj = dt << Predictor Screening( Y( itemsY ), X( itemsX ) );

This code fails as list elements are not recognized as columns.

 

How to solve this?

Re: Passing list as columns in a data table

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Boston Housing.jmp" );

itemsY = {"chas"};
itemsX = {"crim", "indus", "nox", "rooms", "age", "distance", "radial"};

obj = dt << Predictor Screening( Y( Eval(itemsY) ), X( Eval(itemsX) ) );

Found it, one needs to add Eval().
