No wonder why you run out of memory quite fast. You probably do not need to store the whole lm objects: usually you need coefficients, R-squared, things like that. So instead of returning the objects, return a vector or a list with only the elements you need, you will save much space. And if you really need the objects, set these lm() arguments to FALSE to make the result smaller: model, x, y, qr: logicals. If ‘TRUE’ the corresponding components of the fit (the model frame, the model matrix, the response, the QR decomposition) are returned. > Assuming that R cannot handle inf values in regressions (didn't have the > time to google it) > How can I avoid the calculation of infinite values?

Why don't you just try it? > lm(c(1, Inf) ~ c(1, 2)) Erreur dans lm.fit(x, y, offset = offset, singular.ok = singular.ok, ...) : NA/NaN/Inf in 'y' > lm(c(1, 2) ~ c(1, Inf)) Erreur dans lm.fit(x, y, offset = offset, singular.ok = singular.ok, ...) : NA/NaN/Inf in 'x' So, if anything, this would stop your lapply() call sooner or later, and save your machine from freezing.
