Hi, well, it is always a good bet to start with a small subset of your data. Increase it and take a look what happens and how much memory it takes (object.size() should give the size of the oject in memory, use OS-tools to check the size of the whole process).
There may also be some OS-related issues. There are some issues with memory management under Windows, in particular the memory may become fragmented. Try the same under UNIX if you have access to. And last -- please describe more precisely what exactly are you doing and what does your data look like. Best wishes, Ott ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
