The memory.size() command provides the maximum amount of memory that can be allocated. The amount can be increased to for example 2 GB by the command:
memory.size(size = 2048) On windows the max size is 2GB, I don't know how large it is on Linux. But I must agree with Uwe Ligges that it may be better to cut up your dataset. kind regards, Paul Hiemstra At 10:59 18-10-2006, John Kapsomenakis wrote: >Dear All, >I'm running the latest R on SUSE 10.0.
