What is the syntax of the formula argument in R? -


this question has answer here:

in package nnet, following example given:

# or ird <- data.frame(rbind(iris3[,,1], iris3[,,2], iris3[,,3]),         species = factor(c(rep("s",50), rep("c", 50), rep("v", 50)))) ir.nn2 <- nnet(species ~ ., data = ird, subset = samp, size = 2, rang = 0.1,                decay = 5e-4, maxit = 200) table(ird$species[-samp], predict(ir.nn2, ird[-samp,], type = "class")) 

i not understand how part works: species ~ ., understand kind of formula passed argument not know search more information syntax of formulaes , . represent.

please close question if duplicate, not find same question.

. represents features/columns except outcome (which written on rhs of ~). more info can found here ?formula

basically, iris3 data set, formula

species ~ .  

is equivalent to

species ~ sepal l. + sepal w. + petal l. + petal w.
