Do check the help page for ts. You are trying to fit a seasonal model with a period of about 600 million observations. I don't know what seasonality you are actually trying to model, but it cannot be yearly for data of that frequency (and you would need several years of data).

This is not an R issue, so please discuss with your statistics advisor what you are really trying to do.

Hi.
I have to forecast a time series of a Internet network traffic bitrate.
The data are in file
http://www.forumaltavilla.it/joomla/datitesi/dati.datand the sampling
time is every 0.05 seconds.
Now, i want to use HoltWinters forecasting. This is my script.

dt=1.58443823e-9 #0.05 seconds in years
dati.ts=ts(scan("dati.dat"),start=0,deltat=dt)
model=HoltWinters(dati.ts)
dati.forecast=forecast(model,h=100)
plot(dati.forecast)

When I type the command

model=HoltWinters(dati.ts)

R gives me the error
"Error in NextMethod("[") : cannot allocate vector of length 1262277040"

even if I take a shorter dati.dat (50 samples) i get the same error.

If i set deltat=1, the error after HoltWinters command is:
"Error in decompose(ts(x[1L:wind], start = start(x), frequency = f),
seasonal) :
   time series has no or less than 2 periods"

How can I solve my problem?
Thanks
