Dear List, After obtaining a second-hand PC and because XP costs too much, I installed Xandros 3.0 (based on Debian) but pretty easy to use if migrating from WinXP. Does anyone know how to install R on this OS? Thank you for your time, Tom Volscho ************************************ Thomas W.

Dear List, I have some projects where I use enormous datasets. For instance, the 5% PUMS microdata from the Census Bureau. After deleting cases I may have a dataset with 7 million+ rows and 50+ columns. Will R handle a datafile of this size? If so, how?

...and logLik, I want to impose the AICC penalty instead. After fitting a model. Is there a way of obtaining the "npar" and then assigning it to a variable? Essentially, I want to then write a simple function to add the AICC penalty to (-2*logLik). Thank you in advance for any help, Tom Volscho ************************************ Thomas W.

...ut codebook is uninformative). I can reproduce results (using this data) that were reported in a recent journal article, if I use SPSS or STATA--specifying the weight. Does anyone know how to do this in R? I have read a lot of documentation and this is my last resort. Thanks in advance, Tom Volscho
