I would like to compare every column in my matrix with every other column and get the r-squared.
I tried using the following formula and looping through every column: > summary(lm(matrix[,x]~matrix[,y]))$r.squared If I have 10,000 columns, the loops (10,000 * 10,000) take forever even if there is no formula inside. Then, I attempted to vectorize my code: > cor(matrix)^2 With 10,000 columns, this works great. With 30,000, R tells me it cannot allocate vector of that length even if the memory limit is set to 4 GBs. Is there anything else I can do to resolve this issue? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/processing-a-large-matrix-tf3216447.html#a8932591 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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 and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
