Dear, Thank you for the help.
1. distance threshold It is 9. (Roger, you are right and sorry to confuse you) 9 is the cutting point for avoiding empty neighbour sets. (If the distance threshold is 8, there will be empty ones.) 2. dataset length(nb10)=4873. sum(card(nb10)=885478) 3. memory size the memory limit is 1535 Mb, which is much larger than 121.8 Mb.
