Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

View source: R/bigglm.R

Description

bigglm.ffdf creates a generalized linear model object that uses only p^2 memory for p variables. It uses the biglm package and is a simple wrapper to allow to work with an ffdf as input data. Make sure that package is loaded.

Usage

1
bigglm.ffdf(formula, data, family = gaussian(), ..., chunksize = 5000)

Arguments

formula

a model formula

data

an object of class ffdf

family

A glm family object

...

other parameters passed on to bigglm. See the biglm package: biglm

chunksize

Size of chunks for processing the ffdf

Value

An object of class bigglm. See the bigglm package for a description: bigglm
