how to access the formula of a $call function in R

I am using subset selection methods in the leaps package. After running subset selection, I can get the formula by accessing the $call variable stored in the object that I ran my subset selection (for this example, let's call the object k.

So if I run k$call, it will return a linear model formula, such as:

lm(formula = y + x1 + x2 + x3, data = trainingData)

Is there a way to run this formula by using k$call?

I tried running lm.1 <- k$call but it just stores the k$call instead of making the actual linear regression.

You need to evaluate the expression.

eval(k$call) will run the call

in your case

lm.1 <- evalk$call
