Dear Vito,
                Thanks for your comments. But I want to do Simple linear
regression not Multiple Linear regression. Multiple Linear regression is not
possible here as number of variables are much more than samples.( X is ill
condioned, inverse of X^TX does not exist! )
I just want to take one predictor variable and regress on y and store
regression coefficients, p values and R^2 values. And the loop go up to
40,000 predictors.
