I have the Windows 95 version of R. How do I increase the memory of the vsize and nsize?? Can you please give me exact codes that I should enter. When I enter the codes from the help manual ... they don't work. I believe they are for the Unix system only. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am having a problem using ESS with R. In particular I have large data objects which exceed the 6Mb default heap memory. Outside of ESS I can run R by specifying large values of --vsize and --nsize but I can't figure out how to do this in ESS. Any help would be much appreciated. -- **************************************************** ** Angelo J. Canty **

My group is working with datasets between 100 Mb and 1 GB in size, using multiple log ins. From the documentation, it appears that vsize is limited to 2^30-1, which tends to prove too restrictive for our use. When we drop that restriction (set vsize = NA) we end up hanging the server, which requires a restart. Is there any way to increase the memory limits on R while keeping our jobs from

Dear all, I don't get it: First of all, the help doesn't say what are the memory limits of R. Say, what's the max heap size for instance ???? Secondly, I invoke R with the following commands each time: rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 1000K rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 2000K rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 3000K rgui --vsize 30M --nsize 4000K I try to open a matrix 8000x8000 by issuing

Hi everyone, I have a problem that some people may have already encountered but i did not find the solution yet. As I use R to simulate several arrays of data, my workspace is now 35Mb big and I cannot launch R with it. An "xdr real data read error occured" and R tells me to delete .RData or increase memory. I WON'T delete this file and changing the max-nsize to 40600k did not

Let me begin stating that I read all help files and faq's on the subject matter (there aren't more than about a dozen) but either did not find solutions or found them not to work. Here is the issue. I am trying to run a spatial regression on a medium-sized dataset. Part of the functions in the spdep package I use require me to allocate a vector of 1.1 Gb (mine is not a spatial SIG

Hello, I'm using a 64bit Linux with 16GB of RAM. I'd like to limit the memory that the R process can use so I'm trying to use --max-vsize switch. However, it is seems that I can't enforce a limit above 2GB. shlomo at hippo:~$ uname -a Linux hippo 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux This WORKS: -------------------- shlomo at hippo:~$ R

Dear R-users, I am trying to run some simulations in batch mode. In an older version of the program, I used rterm --vsize=100M --nsize=5000K --restore --save <input file> output file, however, in the new version R 2.2.0 , the parameters vsize and nsize are ignored. I can use the command memory.limit to increase memory, but I am not sure if this corresponds to vsize and nsize.

Hi list, I am analysing a large dataset using random coefficient (using nlme) and fixed effects (using lm function) models. I have problem with my R version 2. 2. 1 due to memory allocation difficulties. When I try to expand the memory I get the following error message. > R --min-vsize=10000000 --max-vsize=1000000000 --min-nsize=500 --max-nsize=10000000 Error: target of assignment expands

Hi, I have a few questions about how to handle large data sets in R. What is the size of the largest matrix that R can comfortably deal with? Is this size limit imposed by R's software, or is it a question of the machine that one runs on? How does one go about choosing reasonable values of vsize and nsize? I have a data set with about 1,000,000 rows, and 30

Hi, Is the following command used to increase the memory or any other command when a background R job is run? R --min-vsize=vl --max-vsize=vu --min-nsize=nl --max-nsize=nu --max-ppsize=N source: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/base/html/Memory.html Thx Carol [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

  R-devel, I am migrating from R.2.13.2 to R.2.15.1 and just realize that R command line options --max-nsize and --max-vsize are no longer supported along with the defunct of mem.limits(). To me, the function and options along with other two, --min-nsize and --min-vsize, are useful in allowing some explicit control of R memory usage. One benefit is that the setting of maximum boundary could

Hello R-community, It's been a week now that I am struggling with the implementation of a cox model in R. I have 80 cancer patients, so 80 time measurements and 80 relapse or no measurements (respective to censor, 1 if relapsed over the examined period, 0 if not). My microarray data contain around 18000 genes. So I have the expressions of 18000 genes in each of the 80 tumors (matrix

Dear Group I'm still trying to bring many data into R (see older postings). After solving some troubles with the database I do most of the work in MySQL. But still I could be nice to work on some data using R. Therefore I can use a dedicated Server with Gentoo Linux as OS hosting only R. This Server is a nice machine with two CPU and 4GB RAM which should do the job: Dual Intel XEON 3.06 GHz

Hi, I am not on this mailing list, but here is a terrible bug that has stopped me in my tracks. I am unable to remove observations from a data matrix. temp is the original matrix. Notice that there are 288 entries with a 104 in the first column. I attempt to remove these entries, but R does not do it. brad ACTUAL COMMANDS: > dim(temp) [1] 30528 11 > table(temp[,1]) 1 3 4

I am trying to upload into R 143 Affymetrix chips onto using R on the NIH Nimbus server. I can load 10 chips without a problem, however, when I try to load 143 I receive a error message: cannot create a vector of 523263 KB. I have expanded the memory of R as follows: R --min-vsize=10M --max-vsize=2500M --min-nsize=10M -max-nsize=50M (as specified in help in R). After running this command the

Dear all, in a current project I have a pretty huge .Rdata. Thus I was working with R --vsize 100 --nsize 1000000. Today when I tried to restart R I get the following error message: Error: a read error occured Fatal error: unable to restore saved data (remove .RData or increase memory) I increased memory up to --vsize 180 and --nsize 2000000, but the error reoccurrs. Is there a way to know

Dear all, I've started working with R (vs 1041) a few weeks ago, and now I'm having problems with the amount of memory. I'm working on the windows-me, my computer has 128 Mb of memory. I'm using the R under the emacs (ESS-5.1.20) and it is started by the command: Rterm --min-vsize=10M --max-vsize=100M --min-nsize=500k --max-nsize=1M I've been had problems when executing a
