Hi Richard,

It is if you use Rattle. Rattle allows you to do that for quite a few types of models and has a really nice GUI interface. It has been developed for the purposes of datamining, and given your use of the term "score" in your post, I assume in part that this is what you are looking for. You can import a random sample of cases (a training percentage from the total dataset) and the package will use the remainder of your sample for testing and scoring. Rattle is very sophisticated in terms of the algorithms it offers, and once you get going in R, SAS will become obselete (just kidding).

Sorry if I am wrong here about what you need.

Welcome ..... Paul

Subject: [R] New to R. Question about very large files


.. I am new to R but experienced in SAS.  SAS has the capability to let me
develop a model from a sample and use the results to score the records of
another file which won't fit in memory.  Is this straightforward in R or
does it require coding to do the scoring in segments? Can someone point me
to sample code that I can copy or modify to do this quickly?
