Dear all,


When calling rlm with the following data, I get an error. (R v.1.8.1, WinXP Pro 2002 with service pack 1.)

d <- na.omit(data.frame(CPRATIO, HEIGHTZ, FAMILYID))
c <- tapply(d$CPRATIO, d$FAMILYID, mean)
h <- tapply(d$HEIGHTZ, d$FAMILYID, mean)

out <- rlm(h ~ c)
Error in model.matrix.default(mt, mf, contrasts) :
        cannot allocate vector of length 1077237505


If I make the same rlm call a second or third time, R usually crashes.


Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. These commands
were run after a much larger script had seemingly run successfully. But,
I had no problem calling, e.g., rlm(HEIGHTZ ~ CPRATIO), after the same
script had run. Although I have made some minor changes in the script, I also didn't have this problem when using R 1.7.


Many thanks in advance,

Ed.
