I wanted to report this issue here so others may not find themselves alone and as the author is apparently active on the list. I havent done an exhaustive test by any means, cause I dont have time. But here's a small example. Apparently the "ns" argument is the one that is killing it. I've gotten several different segfault messages, the only other one I remember said "out of memory". This one is probably most common from the about 10 segfaults I've had. *** caught segfault *** address(nil), cause 'unknown' I'm working on a 64bit build of R 2.8.1 on a linux machine. If you want more details, I can surely get them. It happens on the last line for the following for all different valies of ns: library(rpart) library(ipred) data("Forbes2000", package="HSAUR") Forbes2000 <- subset(Forbes2000, !is.na(profits)) datasize=length(Forbes2000$profits) f <- rpart(profits ~ assets + marketvalue + sales, data=Forbes2000) fb <- bagging(profits ~ assets + marketvalue + sales, data=Forbes2000) fb <- bagging(profits ~ assets + marketvalue + sales, data=Forbes2000, nbagg=100,coob=TRUE) fb <- bagging(profits ~ assets + marketvalue + sales, data=Forbes2000, nbagg=100,coob=TRUE, ns=round(.9*datasize)) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ipred-bagging-segfault-on-64-bit-linux-build-tp25407509p25407509.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
