[R] rolling regression between adjacent columns

Well, in this case I don't think my original code would have helped much...

So, I've rewritten as below. I want to perform regression between one column
in a matrix and all other columns in the same matrix. I have a for loop to
achieve this, which succeeds in exporting intercept and slope coefficients
to a results matrix, except when a column that contains only NAs is reached.
Columns partially filled with NAs are handled, but the code exits with
errors when a single column is filled with NAs. I inserted the
'na.action=NULL' statement within the lm() construct, but to no avail. I
would be very grateful for any advice.

>tt<-time(SourceMat) 
>ResultMat<-matrix(NA, ncol=colnum, nrow=rownum)     #creates an o/p
template matrix 

#loop through each column in the source matrix: 
>for (i in 1:5000) 
                { 
        sel_col<-[col(SourceMat)==i] #selecting the correct column in the
matrix in turn 
        SourceMat[,i]<-coef(lm(tt~sel_col), na.action=NULL) 
                }

Thanks,

rcoder
