Hi everyone, I have 2 environments (2 different R sessions) as described below:
Session 1: Name of the environment: "CrlmmInfo" Objects in the environment: index1: logical index - length 238304 index2: logical index - length 238304 priors: list of 4 - (matrix 6x6, 2 vectors of length 6, vector of length 2) - all num params: list of 4: centers [238304 x 3 x 2]: num scales [238304 x 3 x 2]: num N [238304 x 3]: num f0 [scalar]: num If I save this environment to a file, I get a file of 23MB. Great. Session 2: Analogous to "Session 1", but replace 238304 by 262264. If I save the environment on Session 2, I get a file of 8.4GB. I applied object.size on each of the objects in each environment, and this is what I got: For Session 1: index1: 16204864 index2: 16204864 priors: 3336 params: 74353584 For Session 2: index1: 1049096 index2: 1049096 priors: 3336 params: 81829104 Is this increase from 23MB to 8.4GB expected to happen? Benilton sessionInfo() on both sessions is identical: > sessionInfo() R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu locale: LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso885915;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.iso885915;LC_COLLATE =en_US.iso885915;LC_MONETARY=en_US.iso885915;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.iso885915 ;LC_PAPER=en_US.iso885915;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASU REMENT=en_US.iso885915;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" [7] "base" > version _ platform x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu arch x86_64 os linux-gnu system x86_64, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 4.0 year 2006 month 10 day 03 svn rev 39566 language R version.string R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03) ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
