Hi, I need to analyze data that has 3.5 million observations and about 60 variables and I was planning on using R to do this but I can't even seem to read in the data. It just freezes and ties up the whole system -- and this is on a Linux box purchased about 6 months ago on a dual-processor PC that was pretty much the top of the line. I've tried expanding R the memory limits but it doesn't help. I'll be hugely disappointed if I can't use R b/c I need to do build tailor-made models (multilevel and other complexities). My fall-back is the SPlus big data package but I'd rather avoid if anyone can provide a solution....
Thanks!!!! Jennifer Hill ______________________________________________ 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
