See my answer here: [Using all independent variables with @formula in a multiple linear model - #2 by nilshg](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/using-all-independent-variables-with-formula-in-a-multiple-linear-model/43691/2)

Basically what the preceding posts say - you want to construct `Term` objects from symbols, in the other thread I’m doing this for all columns `names(df)` but that of course easily generalizes to a vector holding whatever subset of columns you’re interested in.
