Hi
I have 6 rather big data sets (between 400000 and 800000 lines) on transport
data (times, distances and travelers between nodes). They all have a common
index (start-end nodes).
I want to aggregate this data, but for that I have to merge them.
I tried to use "merge" with the result that R (3.0.1) crashes (Windows 8
machine, 16 Gb Ram).
Then I tried the join from the data.table package. Here I got the message that
2^34 is too big (no idea why it is 2^34 as it is a left join).
Then I decided to do a loop using the tables and assigning them, which takes a
very, very long time (still running at the moment).
Here is the code:
for (i in 1:length(dataP$Start)){
c<-dataP$Start[i]
d<-dataP$End[i]
dataP[J(c,d)]$OEV.T<-ttoevP[J(c,d)]$OEV.T
}
dataP has 800'000 lines and ttoevP has about 500'000 lines.
Any hints to speed up this process are welcome.
