Although I along with the other believe there probably is an efficient R solution, the answer to your direct question can perhaps be found at http://www.fortran.com/. The free GNU G95 fortran compiler is at http://www.g95.org/ Joe

More specifically, I have to run small regression models (between 1 and 15 predictors) on samples of up to N=700 but thousands and thousands of them. I am designing a simulation in R and running those regressions and R itself is way too slow. So, I am thinking of compiling the regression run itself in Fortran and Java and then calling it from R. Thank you very much for any advice! Dimitri Liakhovitski MarketTools, Inc.
