Dear R users
I wondered if any of you ever tried to calculate distance matrix with very large data set, and if anyone out there can confirm this error message I got actually mean that my data is too large for this task. negative length vectors are not allowed My data size and code used dim(mydata_nor)[1] 365000 144> d <- dist(mydata_nor, method = "euclidean") Here my data has 1000 samples each has a year data observed by 10 minutes interval daily, so the size is (365* 1000) * 144. I checked the manual of function 'dist' but can not see the upper limit size allowed, and I bet there should be one, so any hints is appreciated. I would also be grateful if any other method for calculating distance matrix for large dataset could be advised. I appreciate reproducible code should be provided for your advice, so try below if needed: A<-matrix(1:365000*144,nrow=365000,ncol=144)> dim(A)[1] 365000 144> d1<-dist(A,method="euclidean")Error in dist(A, method = "euclidean") : negative length vectors are not allowed Many thanks in advance!
