[R] boot.ci: [Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.5 Gb]
Dear R users,
I am getting following error while using boot.ci. I have int.inc function
with 20000 values. I am generating CI for the sample estimate.
*> med <- function(x,i) median(x[i])*
*> b1 <- boot(int.inc,med,2)*
*> ci.out <- boot.ci(b1,conf = c(0.95),type = c("bca"))*
*Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.5 Gb*
*
*
It would be very helpful to get some insight on this.
Regards
Vikram
