Dear R friends,


here I write again about the wilcox.exact() problem. I want to compare two sets 
of categorical data, and in one case it says "negative length vectors not 
allowed", and in the other one I get the error "cannot allocate vector of 
length ...".

On http://rapidshare.com/files/298621893/wilcox.exact_trouble.Rdata.html you 
can download the data that cause the trouble. (Attention: 10 Downloads only, so 
you may have to send me an e-mail so I can mail you the Rdata file directly.)

> library(exactRankTests)
  Package ‘exactRankTests’ is no longer under development.
  Please consider using package ‘coin’ instead.
> wilcox.exact(group_1,group_2,exact=T)
Error in .Call("cpermdist2", ma = as.integer(m), mb = as.integer(col),  : 
  negative length vectors are not allowed
> wilcox.exact(group_3,group_4,exact=T)
Error in .Call("cpermdist2", ma = as.integer(m), mb = as.integer(col),  : 
  cannot allocate vector of length 1621367542

1621367542 is the same as 2^30.59, so the memory can't be allocated on my 
32-bit computer.

Can somebody point out the problem to me?


Kind regards,


David
