This sort of question is ideal to send directly to the maintainer. We've removed kmeans.big.matrix for the time being and will place it in a new package, bigmemoryAnalytics. bigmemory itself is the core building block and tool, and we don't want to pollute it with lots of extras.
Allan's point is right: big data packages (like bigmemory and ff) can't be used directly with R functions (like lm). And because of R's design you can't extract subsets with more than 2^31-1 elements, even though the big.matrix can be as large as you need (with filebacking). I hope that helps. Jay -- John W.
