Possibly something like: lapply( 100:200, function(i) { fit <- lm( y ~ x, data=mydata, subset=seq(length.out=i) ) ... do something with fit to return the desired prediction(s) ... } )
You can stop standing now :-) The process might be a little more efficient (or it might not be) by using the biglm package and updating the original fit with 1 row at a time (depends also on what the original poster meant by "predicted y" and how complicated it is to compute). -- Gregory (Greg) L.
