Hi everyone,  
I try making decision trees and random forest using the packages rpart and 
party. I'm already stuck at t he first step. Each time when I enter the code 
either 1. R takes more than an hour. I haven't waited long enough to see if 
there's a result but it doesn't look like it! When I hit the "stop" button it 
also freezes and I need to force quit R. This happens with rpart(). 
2. Or I get the message :
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 5.0 GbIn addition: Warning messages:1: In 
cbind(RET, tr[[i]]) :  Reached total allocation of 16287Mb: see 
help(memory.size)2: In cbind(RET, tr[[i]]) :  Reached total allocation of 
16287Mb: see help(memory.size)3: In cbind(RET, tr[[i]]) :  Reached total 
allocation of 16287Mb: see help(memory.size)4: In cbind(RET, tr[[i]]) :  
Reached total allocation of 16287Mb: see help(memory.size)
When I look at Windows task manager it goes from "in use: 4GB" to use "in use: 
14.5 GB" causing it to have no memory left (15.9 GB  is the limit on my 
computer).  The trainset is big (almost 9 million records and 13 variables). I 
already increased the memory.limit() but it didn't work. This happens with 
ctree(), cforest(). 
I don't have much technical knowledge and I am a beginner at R. I use the 
64-bit version on Windows. 
Examples of the code that I used:dt <- rpart(Product ~ Age + TotalChildren + 
NumberCarsOwned, data=TrainData, method="class", 
control=rpart.control(minsplit=50, cp=0, xval=0))
Formula <- Product ~ Age + TotalChildren + NumberCarsOwnedctree <- 
ctree(Formula, data=TrainData)
rf <- cforest(rFormula, data=TrainData)
On a smaller data set (of 18.000 records) it does seem to work...How can I make 
it work on my dataset? Is there something in the arguments that I should 
change. 
Kind regards, 
Kim
