I thought so (with all the limitations due to collinearity and so on),
but actually there is a limit for the maximum size of an array which is
independent of your memory size and is due to the way arrays are
indexed. You can't create an object with more than 2^31-1 = 2147483647
elements.

ok, so 200K predictors an 10M observations would work?

it is simply because you can't do a regression with more predictors than
observations.

Cheers.

Dear List,

I'm quite new to R and want to do logistic regression with a 200K
feature data set (around 150 training examples).

I'm aware that I should use Naive Bayes but I have a more general
question about the capability of R handling very high dimensional data.

Please consider the following R code where "mygenestrain.tab" is a 150
by 200000 matrix:

traindata <- read.table('mygenestrain.tab');
mylogit <- glm(V1 ~ ., data = traindata, family = "binomial");

When executing this code I get the following error:

Error in terms.formula(formula, data = data) :
    allocMatrix: too many elements specified
Calls: glm ... model.frame -> model.frame.default -> terms ->
terms.formula
Execution halted

Is this because R can't handle 200K features or am I doing something
completely wrong here?

Thanks a lot for your help!

best Regards,

Romeo
