Hi, I am trying to run the bigmemory example provided on the http://www.bigmemory.org/ The example runs on the "airline data" and generates summary of the csv files:- library(bigmemory) library(biganalytics) x <- read.big.matrix("2005.csv", type="integer", header=TRUE, backingfile="airline.bin", descriptorfile="airline.desc",

Hi, With reference to the mail below, I have large datasets, coming from various different sources, which I can read into filebacked big.matrix using library bigmemory. I want to merge them all into one 'big.matrix' object. (Later, I want to run regression using library 'biglm'). I am unsuccessfully trying to do this from quite some time now. Can you please

Hi all, Is there any way I can add more columns to an existing filebacked big.matrix object. In general, I want a way to modify an existing big.matrix object, i.e., add rows/columns, rename colnames, etc. I tried the following: > library(bigmemory) > x = read.big.matrix("test.csv",header=T,type="double",shared=T,backingfile="test

I recently learned about the bigmemory and foreach packages and am trying to use them to help me create a very large matrix. Without those packages, I can create the type of matrix that I want with 10 columns and 5e6 rows. I would like to be able to scale up to 5e9 rows, or more, if possible. I have created a simplified example of what I'm trying to do, below. The first part of the

I am using the library(bigmemory) to handle large datasets, say 1 GB, and facing following problems. Any hints from anybody can be helpful. _Problem-1: _ I am using "read.big.matrix" function to create a filebacked big matrix of my data and get the following warning: > x = read.big.matrix("/home/utkarsh.s/data.csv",header=T,type="double",shared=T,backingfile

Hi, all, I have a really big matrix that I want to run k-means on. I tried: >data <- read.big.memory('mydata.csv',type='double',backingfile='mydata.bin',descriptorfile='mydata.desc') I'm using doMC to register multicore. >library(doMC) >registerDoMC(cores=8) >ans<-bigkmeans(data,k) In system monitor, it seems only one thread running R. Is

I have pretty big data sizes, like matrices of .5 to 1.5GB so once i need to juggle several of them i am in need of disk cache. I am trying to use bigmemory package but getting problems that are hard to understand. I am getting seg faults and machine just hanging. I work by the way on Red Hat Linux, 64 bit R version 10. Simplest problem is just saving matrices. When i do something like

Hi, Does the backing file of a big.matrix store the contents of entire matrix? Or does it store the portion of it that is not stored in RAM? In other words, can the backing file be treated as a file containing the matrix's full data? I have been writing my big.matrix objects to disk (write.big.matrix), and other programs that want to access this matrix then just read it in (read.big.matrix).

I am trying to add the bigmemory packages but I get the following error message: In file included from bigmemory.cpp:14:0: ../inst/include/bigmemory/isna.hpp: In function 'bool neginf(double)': ../inst/include/bigmemory/isna.hpp:22:57: error: 'isinf' was not declared in this scope make: *** [bigmemory.o] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'bigmemory' * removing

Hello All, I tried to intall the bigmemory package from a CRAN mirror site and received the following output while installing. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it? The system details are provided below. --------------------- begin error messages ----------------------- * installing *source* package 'bigmemory' ... checking for Sun Studio compiler...no checking for

Dear all, bigKRLS, which has been on CRAN for a couple of years, had to be pulled recently due to what seems to be a sanitizer issue stemming from its use of bigmemory. bigKRLS works fine (we?ve used it ourselves on many different platforms and have had over 15,000 downloads without an end user reporting difficulties because of this issue). Unfortunately, we have been unable to reproduce the

To answer your first question about read.big.matrix(), we don't know what your acc3.dat file is, but it doesn't appear to have been detected as a standard file (like a CSV file) or -- perhaps -- doesn't even exist (or doesn't exist in your current directory)?

Dear R-list I'm on my way to start a new project on a rather big panel, consisting of approximately 8 million observations in 30 waves of data and about 15 variables. I have a similar data set that is approximately 7 gigabytes in size. Until now I have done my data management in SAS, and Stata, mostly identifying spells, counting events in intervals, and a like, but I would like to

I work with problems that have rather large data requirements -- typically a bunch of multigig arrays. Given how generous R is with using memory, the only way for me to work with R has been to use bigmatrices from bigmemory package. One thing that is missing a bit is interoperability of bigmatrices with C++ and possibly java. What i mean by that is API that would allow read and write filebacked

Package "bigmemory" is now available on CRAN. A brief abstract follows: Multi-gigabyte data sets challenge and frustrate R users even on well-equipped hardware. C/C++ and Fortran programming can be helpful, but is cumbersome for interactive data analysis and lacks the flexibility and power of R's rich statistical programming environment. The new package bigmemory bridges this gap,

Hello, I have a rather large set of data I need to analyze, currently I need to work with a 200000 by 200000 matrix, I'm using the package bigmemory but so far I can only allocate a 66000 by 66000 matrix, when I increase those values I get the following error:   > AdjMat <- big.matrix(nrow=68000,ncol=68000) Cannot allocate memory BigMatrix.cpp line 225 Error in big.matrix(nrow = 68000,

The re-engineered bigmemory package is now available (Version 3.5 and above) on CRAN. We strongly recommend you cease using the older versions at this point. bigmemory now offers completely platform-independent support for the big.matrix class in shared memory and, optionally, as filebacked matrices for larger-than-RAM applications. We're working on updating the package vignette, and a

The long-promised revision to bigmemory has arrived, with package 4.2.3 now on CRAN. The mutexes (locks) have been extracted and will be available through package synchronicity (on R-Forge, soon to appear on CRAN). Initial versions of packages biganalytics and bigtabulate are on CRAN, and new versions which resolve the warnings and have streamlined CRAN-friendly configurations will appear

I am experiencing a problem trying to use a method from the bigmemory. Specifically, I am using attach.big.matrix but the problem manifests when trying to call attach.resource.
