great, that is my understanding as well..
probably easier, rethink your problem.
yes. i am starting to do that now as i have run into the same memory
issue with my code and wanted to look at statical packages for crunching
huge amounts of data.
Results from a linear regression producing 170,000 coefficient
estimates are unlikely to be useful. The model matrix is essentially
guaranteed to be rank deficient.
interesting, i also stated this point as observations grew and plotting
the regression had minimal impact on the characteristics, however i am
working with an academic that claims all observations are needed to
reflect a pure hedonic index.
is this what you mean by rank deficient?

thank you for your response.
cheers
