Package 'drglm'

Title: Fitting Linear and Generalized Linear Models in "Divide and Recombine" Approach to Large Data Sets
Description: To overcome the memory limitations for fitting linear (LM) and Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) to large data sets, this package implements the Divide and Recombine (D&R) strategy. It basically divides the entire large data set into suitable subsets manageable in size and then fits model to each subset. Finally, results from each subset are aggregated to obtain the final estimate. This package also supports fitting GLMs to data sets that cannot fit into memory and provides methods for fitting GLMs under linear regression, binomial regression, Poisson regression, and multinomial logistic regression settings. Respective models are fitted using different D&R strategies as described by: Xi, Lin, and Chen (2009) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2008.186>, Xi, Lin and Chen (2006) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2006.196>, Zuo and Li (2018) <doi:10.4236/ojs.2018.81003>, Karim, M.R., Islam, M.A. (2019) <doi:10.1007/978-981-13-9776-9>.

Fitting Linear and Generalized Linear Models to out of the memory data sets in "Divide and Recombine" approach

Description

Function big.drglm aimed to fit GLMs to datasets larger in size that can not be stored in memory. It uses popular divide and recombine technique to handle large data sets efficiently.

Usage

big.drglm(data.generator, formula, chunks, family)

Arguments

data.generator

Using the function make.data to initialize the data reading function with the data set path and chunk size, then the data.generate is used directly as data source for the big.drglm function.

formula

An entity belonging to the "formula" class (or one that can be transformed into that class) represents a symbolic representation of the model that needs to be adjusted. Specifics about how the model is defined can be found in the 'Details' section.

chunks

Number of subsets to be divided.

family

An explanation of the error distribution that will be implemented in the model.

Value

A Generalized Linear Model is fitted in "Divide & Recombine" approach using preferred number of chunks to data set. A list of model coefficients is estimated using divide and recombine method with the respective standard error of estimates.

Fitting Linear and Generalized Linear Model in "Divide and Recombine" approach to Large Data Sets

Description

Function drglm aimed to fit GLMs to datasets larger in size that can be stored in memory. It uses popular divide and recombine technique to handle large data sets efficiently.Function drglm optimizes performance when linked with optimized BLAS libraries like ATLAS.The function drglm requires defining the number of chunks K and the fitfunction.The rest of the arguments are almost identical with the speedglm or biglm package.

Usage

drglm(formula, family, data, k, fitfunction)

Arguments

formula

An entity belonging to the "formula" class (or one that can be transformed into that class) represents a symbolic representation of the model that needs to be adjusted. Specifics about how the model is defined can be found in the 'Details' section.

family

An explanation of the error distribution that will be implemented in the model.

data

A data frame, list, or environment that is not required but can be provided if available.

k

Number of subsets to be used.

fitfunction

The function to be utilized for model fitting. glm or speedglm should be used.For Multinomial models, multinom function is preferred.

Value

A Generalized Linear Model is fitted in "Divide & Recombine" approach using "k" chunks to data set. A list of model coefficients is estimated using divide and recombine method with the respective standard error of estimates.
