Re: [R] limits on liniar model
It is hard to prove a negative, but to the best of my knowledge lm will not do
what you want. This does not mean there is not a function that will perform
your analyses; the sort of thing you want to do is often accomplished using
non-linear methods.

Re: [R] limits of a data frame size for reading into R
I sometimes have to work with vectors/matrices with 2^31 - 1 elements. I have found the bigmemory package to be of great help. My lab is also going to learn sqldf package for getting bits of big data into/out of R. Learning both of those packages should help you work with large datasets in R. That said, I still hold out hope that someday, the powers that be - or some hotshot operation like R+ or Revolutions - will see that increasing numbers of users will routinely need to access 2^31-1 elements, and that the packages above are a band-aid on a deeper issue: using such large datasets with ease in R. As of now, it remains quite awkward.

Re: [R] limits of a data frame size for reading into R
You probably don't want an object that is larger than about 25% of the physical memory so that copies can be made during some processing. If you are running on a 32-bit system which will limit you to at most 3GB of memory, then your largest object should not be greater than 800MB. If you want to have 13,700 columns of numeric data (takes 8 bytes per element), then each row would require about 100KB and that would mean you would probably have an object with about 8000 rows. 64-bit is probably limited by how much you want to spend for memory.

Re: [R] limits
Try the rSymPy or Ryacas packages.
In the rSymPy code below the var command defines x
as symbolic to sympy and then we perform the
computation:
library(rSymPy)
Loading required package: rJava
sympy(var('x'))
[1] x
sympy(limit(x*x + x + 2, x, 2))
[1] 8
Or using devel version define x as symbolic first to sympy
and then to R:
library(rSymPy)
source(http://rsympy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/R/Sym.R;)
sympy(var('x'))
[1] x
x - Sym(x)
limit(x*x + x + 2, x, 2)
[1] 8
or using Ryacas:
library(Ryacas)
Loading required package: XML
x - Sym(x)
Limit(x^2+x+2, x, 2)
[1] Starting Yacas!
expression(8)
More info is available here which you should read before
using these packages:
http://rsympy.googlecode.com
http://ryacas.googlecode.com

Re: [R] limits on the length of the name of a script file in R 2.6.0.?

First, it looked like it was unhappy with my working outside of R folder (under Program Files). But not it looks like it was not really the problem. Now, it opens and works when I open scripts whose names are not very long (e.g., Selecting cases I need.R). But it does crash (gives me a message that R needs to shut down) when the script I am trying to open has a slightly longer file name (e.g, in my case: randforestImportanceExample with MR.r and longer). Is anyone aware of the limits the latest version of R imposes on script name length? I never experienced such a problem with R 2.5.0. The latest version of R is 2.6.1 (released today), but I doubt if you're using that yet. It has the same limit as Windows on filename length. 2.6.0 had a bug which meant long filenames could cause a crash.
