You're running out of RAM.  Your options are

1) run code on a machine with more RAM

2) try the model on fewer observations

3) try a simpler model.

4) Use a more efficient function -- arima() in stats, for example.

Hi,
I am trying out a generalized least squares method of forecasting that
corrects for autocorrelation.  I downloaded daily stock data from Yahoo
Finance, and am trying to predict Close (n=7903).  I have learned to use
date functions to extract indicator variables for Monday - Friday (and
Friday is missing in the model to prevent it from becoming full rank).  When
I run the following code...

library(nlme)
MyModel <- gls(Close ~ Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday,
        correlation=corARMA(p=2), data=MyData, method="ML")

...I get the following error...

Error in corFactor.corARMA(object) :
  Calloc could not allocate (62457409 of 8) memory

...Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?  I appreciate any help.  Thanks.
