Thanks a lot, Martin and William. Looks like, we can't apply prediction on lsfit and lm.fit objects. Because, i am trying to use lm object to predict the values for new data frame. Thanks & Regards Sasi On Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 9:49 AM, Martin Maechler wrote: > > William Dunlap > >

That is what I meant about saving compute time and increasing programming time. You can do prediction by do the matrix multiplication explicitly. Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 9:01 PM, Sasikumar Kandhasamy wrote: > Thanks a lot, Martin and William. Looks li

Thanks a lot Bill & Bert. Hi Bill, Sorry i was wrong on number of records, actually, i am using two dimensional data of 250K records each. And regarding CPU usage, it was the elapsed time. Infact, i have pined one core to run R. Thanks & Regards Sasi On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 2:04 PM, William Dun

If a quick running time is important and your models involve only numeric data with no missing values and you are willing to spend more programming time setting things up, the lsfit() function may work better for you. Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 3:25 PM, S

You cannot do a linear regression with one column of data - there must be at least one response column and one predictor. By default, lm throws in a constant term which gives you a second predictor. If your predictor is categorical, you get a new column for all but the first unique value in it.

Do your own homework. Google on "memory usage in R." etc. You should have no trouble finding what you need there. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "Data is not information. Information is not knowledge. And knowledge is certainly not wisdom." -- Clifford Stoll On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 12:25 PM, S

[R] R runtime performance and memory usage

2015-11-16 Thread Sasikumar Kandhasamy
Hi All, I have couple of clarifications on R run-time performance. I have R-3.2.2 package compiled for MIPS64 and am running it on my linux machine with mips64 processor (core speed 1.5GHz) and observing the following behaviors, 1. Applying "linear regression model" (lm) on 1MB of data (contains
