Dear Mira, I didn't work through your code in detail, but I did notice that you're doing something that's very inefficient in R -- building up objects element-by-element, e.g., by indexing beyond their current length. Instead, you can preallocate the objects and simply replace elements. For example, create the vector F in your perm.F() as F <- numeric(nperms) rather than as an empty vector. (BTW, I'd probably not name a variable "F" since this is usually a synonym for the logical value FALSE.) There's a similar problem in your handling of maxF, which you build up column-by-column via cbind(). (BTW, is maxF really a matrix?) You also needlessly recompute max(F), never appear to use MSSid, and end lines with unnecessary semicolons.
I hope that this helps, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 905-525-9140x23604 http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox -------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of miraceti > Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2007 12:38 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [R] efficient code. how to reduce running time? > > Hi, > I am new to R. > and even though I've made my code to run and do what it needs to . > It is taking forever and I can't use it like this. > I was wondering if you could help me find ways to fix the > code to run faster. > Here are my codes.. > the data set is a bunch of 0s and 1s in a data.frame. > What I am doing is this. > I pick a column and make up a new column Y with values > associated with that column I picked. > then I remove the column. > and see if any other columns in the data have a significant > association with the Y column I've generated. > If you see anything obvious that takes a long time, any > suggestions would be appreciated. > thanks a lot. > > Mira > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > -------------------------------- > #sub function for finding index > rfind <- function(x)seq(along=x)[x*(1-x)>MAF*(1-MAF)] > > #sub function for permutation test > perm.F = function(y,x,nperms,sites) > { > maxF = c();
