As the subject says, I am unhappy with R's aov performance. I have a data set containing 25000 cases. This causes thrashing even with very moderate formulae, because the model matrix has quite a lot of lines. The study has 9x3x2x2x2 (or so) design factors. Is there a recommended method for pre-condensing the data before inputting them into aov in R? I want to be able to preserve the person factor (42) for further analysis. I could try to aggregate the response variables for all and use a count for weighting them. AFAIS, in principle the cases could be submitted seqentially to the fitting process avoiding the explicit building of the model matrix. Is anybody working on this in R context? -- Dipl.-Math.
