similar to: iterative regressions, adding a new line of data each, time

Hi R-users, I'm trying to produce decompositions of a multiple time-series, grouped by a factor (called "area"). I'm modifying the code in the STLperArea function of package ndvits, as this function only plots produces stl plots, it does not return the underlying data. I want to extract the trend component of each decomposition ("x$time.series[,trend]), assign a name

I've been working with a rather large data set (~10M rows), and while biglm works beautifully for generating coefficients, it does not report an r-squared. It does report RSS. Any idea on how one could coax an R-squared out of biglm? Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Dear Greg, Thanks for the new release. The decomposition of the SSQ is just what I need! Regards, Martin.

I'm looking for a routine in R to do Blinder-Oaxaca (and related) decompositions. A very nice one has been written (by Jann) for Stata (and I'm evaluating whether I can switch over to R). I'm having a hard time finding any reference in R documentation to this pretty ubiquitous tool (in labour economics) for decomposing differences between two groups into differences in means and

hello, i want to compute the top k eigenvalues+eigenvectors of a (large) real symmetric matrix. since it doesn't look like any top-level R function does this, i'll call LAPACK from a C shlib and then use .Call. the only LAPACK function i see to do this in R_ext/Lapack.h is dsyevx. however, i know that in LAPACK dsyevr can also return a partial eigendecomposition. why is dsyevr not

Hi, I am pretty new to R. I'm trying run a regression repeatedly, adding a new data point each time, and then storing the predicted Y values. For example, let's say I have 500 data points and I run the regression. I would then like to store the Y value, run the regression again using 501 data points, store the new Y, run the regression with 502 data points, store the Y, and so on. What I

Hello folks, I am very excited to have discovered R and have been exploring its capabilities. R's regression models are of great interest to me as my company is in the business of running thousands of linear regressions on large datasets. I am using biglm to run linear regressions on datasets that are as large as several GB's. I have been pleasantly surprised that biglm runs the

Hi, I'm trying to compile the package biglm, but when I build it with R CMD build biglm, it failed : C:\LOCAL\c-dutang\code\R\biglm2>R CMD build biglm * checking for file 'biglm/DESCRIPTION' ...

Hi All: I'm new to R and have a few questions about getting R to run efficiently with large datasets. I'm running R on Windows XP with 1Gb ram (so about 600mb-700mb after the usual windows overhead). I have a dataset that has 4 million observations and about 20 variables. I want to run probit regressions on this data, but can't do this with more than about 500,000 observations before

Hi, I am trying to find an elegant way to compute and store some frequently used matrices "on demand". The Matrix package already uses something like this for storing decompositions, but I don't know how to do it. The actual context is the following: A list has information about a basis of a B-spline space (nodes, order) and gridpoints at which the basis functions would be

I am trying to figure out why 'biglm' can handle large data set... According to the R document - "biglm creates a linear model object that uses only p^2 memory for p variables. It can be updated with more data using update. This allows linear regression on data sets larger than memory." After reading the source code below? I still could not figure out how 'update'

If a package defined an S3 generic and an S4 generic for the same function (so as to add methods for S4 classes to the existing code), how do I set up the namespace to have them exported? With import(stats) exportMethods(bigglm) importClassesFrom(DBI) useDynLib(biglm) export(biglm) export(bigglm) in NAMESPACE, the S3 generic is not exported. > methods("bigglm") [1] bigglm.RODBC*

Dear all, I am working on a large dataset and need to use biglm() to perform OLS regressions. I have detected significant ARCH effects which I try to account for using the Newey-West correction. So far, I have worked with NeweyWest() in the sandwich package. NeweyWest() however seems to be unable to handle an object of class "biglm". Looking into the code, I figured out that

Hello colleagues, I have tried to use the package biglm. I want to specify a multivariate regression with a weight. I have imported a large dataset with the library(bigmemory). I load the library (biglm) and specified a regression with a weight. But I get everytime a error message like ?object not found? or ?`weights' must be a formula? or "error in eval(expr, envir, enclos)". I

Hello, recently I was looking at the implementation of the "varimax" rotation procedure from the "stats" package and to me it looks quite different from the algorithm originally suggested by Kaiser in 1958. The R procedure iteratively uses singular value decompositions of some matrices whereas Kaiser proposed to iteratively compute rotation matrices between all pairs of

Hello. I am trying to invert a matrix, and I am finding that I can get different answers depending on whether I set LAPACK true or false using "qr". I had understood that LAPACK is, in general more robust and faster than LINPACK, so I am confused as to why I am getting what seems to be invalid answers. The matrix is ostensibly the Hessian for a function I am optimizing. I want to get

Hi Sir, Thanks for making package available to us. I am facing few problems if you can give some hints: Problem-1: The model summary and residual deviance matched (in the mail below) but I didn't understand why AIC is still different. > AIC(m1) [1] 532965 > AIC(m1big_longer) [1] 101442.9 Problem-2: chunksize argument is there in bigglm but not in biglm, consequently,

Hello. I had been struggling with running linear regression using lm() primarily because my data has a few categorical variables with at least a thousand levels. I tried the biglm() function and it worked. My problem now is that i don't know how to get the R2 results. Could someone help? Thanks, sean
