[R] large factorials

2009-04-22 Thread molinar
I am working on a project that requires me to do very large factorial evaluations. On R the built in factorial function and the one I created both are not able to do factorials over 170. The first gives an error and mine return Inf. Is there a way to have R do these larger calculations (the c
