Dear R family, I am trying to read a real large dataset in R (~ 2Gb). Its in binary format. When i tried to read it by using following command readBin("DAT.dat.nc", numeric(), n=9e8, size=4, signed=TRUE, endian='little') I got the following error Error: cannot allocate vector of size 5.2 Gb I have a Ram of 4Gb. I even tried to allocate more space to it by "memory.limit(size=9000000000000)" but to no use. What do i do? Buy a new ram or act smart? Thankyou very much in advance Eliza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
