Hi all, Hi,
When I want to compute the eigenvalues & eigenvectors of a specific matrix, R crashes (i.e. it stops responding to any input). I've tried it with different versions of R (2.1.1, 2.2.0, 2.2.1) - all with crashing as result. What I did before the crash was: M <- as.matrix(read.table("thematrix",header=T)) eigen(M) If, instead of eigen(M), I use eigen(M, EISPACK=T), R doesn't crash. So, I know a workaround my problem, but still don't understand why R crashes. Could anyone explain this? In case someone wants to download my matrix to see where it goes wrong, it can be downloaded from http://mcs.open.ac.uk/cja235/thematrix (warning: obviously, R might crash so save your unsaved work first). thanks, Casper Albers [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
