Ivo: 1. You should not be fitting linear models as you describe. For why not and how they should be fit, consult a suitable text on numerical methods (e.g. Givens and Hoeting).
2. In R, I suggest using lm() and ?update, feeding update() data modified as you like. This is, after all, the reason for update(). -- Bert On Mon, May 27, 2013 at 8:12 AM, ivo welch <ivo.we...@anderson.ucla.edu> wrote: > dear R experts---I would like to update OLS regressions with new > observations on the front of the data, and delete some old > observations from the rear. my goal is to have a "flexible" > moving-window regression, with a minimum number of observations and a > maximum number of observations.
