R: Linear models for large scale data

Linear models for large scale data {Rfast} | R Documentation

## Linear models for large scale data

### Description

Linear models for large scale data.

### Usage

    lmfit(x, y, w = NULL)

### Arguments

`x` | The design matrix with the data, where each column refers to a different sample of subjects. You must supply the design matrix, with the column of 1s. This function is the analogue of lm.fit and .lm.fit.
`y` | A numerical vector or a numerical matrix.
`w` | An optional numerical vector with weights. Note that if you supply this, the function does not make them sum to 1. So, you should do it.

### Details

We have simply exploitted R's powerful function and managed to do better than .lm.fit which is a really powerful function as well. This is a bare bones function as it returns only two things, the coefficients and the residuals. .lm.fit returns more and lm.fit even more and finally lm returns too much. The motivatrion came form this site https://m-clark.github.io/docs/fastr.html . We changed the function a bit.

### Value

A list including:

`be` | The beta coefficients.
`residuals` | The residuals of the linear model(s).

### Examples

    n <- 200  ;  p <- 5
    X <- matrnorm(n, p)
    y <- rnorm(200)
    a1 <- .lm.fit(X, y)
    a2 <- lmfit(X, y)
    x <- NULL
