dear R wizards: does R have the facilities to handle sparse data frames? I am thinking of reading a data base like the daily CRSP data into R, observations being firms, columns being days, data being stock returns. but this will only fit into my memory if I can convince R to not have to store missing observations, and to return NA upon read access to missing observations. pointers appreciated. sincerely, /iaw
