Hi Richard: Even if I dont read the dummy var columns, i.e. just read the original dataset with 350,000 rows and 16 columns, when I try to run the regression - using >lm(y ~ c1 + factor(c2) + factor(c3) ) ; where c2, c3 are dummy variables, The procedure fails saying not enough memory. But, > lm(y ~ c1 + factor(c2) ) works fine. Any thoughts. Thanks Sachin

If it is in the reading of the data, then why are you reading the dummy variables? Would it make sense to read a single column of a factor instead of 80 columns of dummy variables? --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
