You could look at some extension packages, bigmemory for example. A recent paper http://www.jstatsoft.org/v55/i14 (though for more developer-level capabilities you would need to look at the package itself). Although the big.matrix objects can't be used seamlessly as if they were matrices, they do

Mike, Neither bigmemory nor ff are "drop in" solutions -- though useful, they are primarily for data storage and management and allowing convenient access to subsets of the data. Direct analysis of the full objects via most R functions is not possible. There are many issues that could be discus

That must be it. Our new 3.0.0 has then added the Suggests, and as the changes from 2.2.0 to 3.0.0 were unrelated I assumed we had been properly suggesting previously; apparently not. Thanks, Jay On Sun, Apr 3, 2011 at 1:57 PM, Uwe Ligges wrote: > > > On 03.04.2011 19:31, Jay Emer
