Defining parameters in a loop

Hi,

I am using the following code to define formula in the column "Response Prediction Formula" in my table. As can be seen in the code, a parameter called "tuning" is defined in the formula. Now, instead of 1 parameter, I have to define k parameters in the formula such as tuning1, tuning2, ...tuningk. Is there a way I can do this using a for loop? Please let me know. Thanks!!!

 

Eval(
 Substitute(
   Expr(
    :Response Prediction Formula << set formula(tuning=1,b0=1,b1=1; b0+b1*f11)
    :Response Prediction Formula << setFormula( Parameter( {tuning = initialValueTBD,b0 = 0,b1 = 1}, b0+b1*f11 ) ),

   ),
   Expr(initialValueTBD), 1,
   Expr(f11), evalexpr(f11) 
  )
 );

That works!! Thanks David!!

Re: Defining parameters in a loop

Here is some example code that uses a loop to creeate the list expression of parameters, which is then inserted into the expression to set the formula:

// build a list of tuning parameters
lstInitialTuningValues = {1,1,1,2,2};  // for example, 5 tuning params with these initial values
lstParams = {};
For (i=1,i<=NItems(lstInitialTuningValues),i++,
 Eval(Parse(EvalInsert("\[ 
  value = lstInitialTuningValues[i];
  InsertInto(lstParams, Expr( tuning^i^=^value^ ) )
 ]\")));
);

show(lstParams);  // verify the tuning params are defined correctly

// add the parameters b0,b1
InsertInto(lstParams,Expr(b0=1));
InsertInto(lstParams,Expr(b1=1));

show(lstParams);  // final list of parameters

// set the formula ...
fml = "b0 + b1*f11";
str = Eval(Parse(EvalInsert("\[ 
 :Response Prediction Formula << Set Formula( Parameter( ^lstParams^ , ^fml^ ) )
]\")));

 This is the outcome:
