Do not fret over the specific values, R just bangs out at some kind of assignment somewhere in the code. > I also changed headers to use maximum memory as i am having 4GB of > physical memory in my machine.but still i am facing problem. Well, you still do not have enough ram. Note though that R cannot use all of the 4GB due to limitations of the OS. So it will not help to add more RAM. > Is ther any other soution? Install an OS which can actually use all your RAM. You could try reading in smaller subsets of the data, instead of everything in one go, although you will probably have problems when you normalize (at least if you want to normalize all chips together). How many chips are you looking at (and how big are they?)
