Yet what's the benefit of using Design Package?

Thanks!

For logistic models the code is streamlined. You get automatic tests of most interesting hypotheses (e.g., tests of linearity) and easy to make graphics including nomograms. There's also several model validation functions. LaTeX and other methods can print fitted models in an easier to interpret fashion when restricted cubic splines and interactions are present. Getting odds ratios for sensible changes of X, when X is nonlinear, is easy.

Also it would be useful to compare glm with the lrm function in the Design
package, for speed and memory use.

Hi all,

The data frame is 60000 x 20,

is it too large for R?

What shall I do? Will close all other softwares/applications help? My
PC is Vista with 4GB memory. Thank you.
It's certainly not too large for R. Have you looked at the R Windows FAQ
on the topic?
