no wonder. HCU> Is there any way I can extend the memory used by R? Perhaps HCU> forcing it? I am running R on a XP box with 1GB RAM. See: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#There-seems-to-be-a-limit-on-the-memory-it-uses_0021 So either you try to decrease the size of your variables or try different ways running a 64bit Linux if your PC is able to do that. more RAM would also be preferable since virtual memory is much slower. Other options include maybe the ff package. But it will be quite slow. hth Stefan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
