Optimizing Cross-Validation in R: A Step-by-Step Guide for Large Datasets
Step 1: Analyze the problem The problem involves parallelizing a cross-validation procedure using mclapply on large datasets stored in memory. Step 2: Identify potential bottlenecks The model fitting process is computationally intensive and takes a long time. The data copy step also takes significant time due to the large size of the dataset. Step 3: Consider alternative approaches Instead of using mclapply, consider using foreach package which provides more control over parallelization and can handle large datasets efficiently.
