Hi, Is there a way to save R models (glm, lm , rpart etc) in a file that be read in later? I noticed models take up space. by space them off and removing them from memory it seems that would be useful. Also why do the models keep a copy of all columns in the original data set even those columns are not in the model. E.g. if I build a model on columns A, B even thought column C exists in the dataframe when I run the model against test data with only columns A and B then I get an error saying column C is missing from the data. Anyway it seems like the models would be more compact without having to include within them data from the original data set used to build them but that is an aside. If models can be persisted and loaded selectively later that would neat. thanks Dhruv
