bigglm Bounded memory linear regression
biglm Bounded memory linear regression
predict.bigglm Predictions from a biglm/bigglm
and in case you are the statistical kind of chap who want to know what’s IN the code for these functions
function (formula, data, family = gaussian(), …)
UseMethod("bigglm", data)
<environment: namespace:biglm>
R tip of the day – If you want to know what an R Function say procmeans does…..all you need to do is type procmeans at the command prompt , and it will tell you what is inside the code.
If it gives an error most probably you need to
1) Install
and 2) Load the package containing the function
Which are conveniently here

ps — I am still waiting for the SAS Rookie Slumdog of the Year Award.
Dear All,
I am doing some research into creating a R Package for SAS language Users.
The name of the beta package is “ Anne”, but I am open to suggestions for the name please.
The basic idea is to enable SAS language Users (especially Windows SAS language users) to get a feel to try out the R package without getting overwhelmed with the matrix level powerful capabilities as well as command line interface.
Creating new functions is quite easy as the following code shows.
The first R code for the “Anne 1.0” Package is
procunivariate(x) <- function(x) summary(x)
procimportcsv(x) <- function(x) read.table(x,header=TRUE,
+ sep=”,”, row.names=”id”, na.string=” “)
libname(x) <-function(x) setwd(x)
Note I am tweaking the code as we speak and would be trying to add one proc per week.
But how to put functions in a R Package ?
This is how to create a R package –( To be Continued)
Note- SAS here refers to SAS Language.
Two kids were talking in the park, and they played a game.
Who was the tougher guy, What is your daddy’s name.
My daddy worked on Wall Street , and boy he was so good,
He created more money out of money,oh yes , he sure could.
But good times had to end, times turned tough.
but my daddy was tougher, he changed tactics soon enough.
By the proper contributions, and fundraisers ball,
He got the government to bail him out, in billions ,that’s not small.
Your daddy is such a loser , he paid taxes on time,
filled his 401 k account, and committed no white/blue collar crime.
That’s why your daddy stands in line, in the cutback recession stall
Hoping to get food stamps , which have grown more since last fall.
If your daddy got the billions , he would have created stuff,
He would have created startups and jobs, the world needs that enough.
My daddy worked on Main Street, in an old American factory of cars,
He created good cars when young, but lost out in the oil price wars.
He may not have paid the fundraisers, but he is a honest man,
Your daddy might be richer, but my dad is the ordinary Ameri-CAN
By the sweat of his brow, and the toil of his arms,
My dad will rise despite this fall,
If we could kick Nazi and Commi Butt,
Your dad’s dishonest white collar butt is even more small.
the kids moved on to another game, but what about Mr YOU.
are you going to be a wolf or a sheep, while the big guy fleeces us too.
