hi -
i just started using R as i am trying to figure out how perform a linear
regression on a huge matrix.
i am sure this topic has passed through the email list before but could
not find anything in the archives.
i have a matrix that is 2,000,000 x 170,000 the values right now are
arbitray.
i try to allocate this on a x86_64 machine with 16G of ram and i get the
following:
> x <- matrix(0,2000000,170000);
Error in matrix(0, 2e+06, 170000) : too many elements specified
>
is R capable of handling data of this size? am i doing it wrong?
cheers
paul
