As for the R memory problem I posted, I discussed it with a consultant but
we could not find solution.

Can anyone possibly answer this question?

As I told you briefly, I have a large data set (1017 Mb and about3,600 kb in
csv format). The data contains 14,013 rows (observation) and 44 columns.
I am using Dell Notebook I8000 (got it last year). It has 251,600 KB RAM and
C-drive where R folder is attached has 13.5GB free space.


I am able to read the data but whenever I try the following, I got error
message.

> test <- lm(d.tdc2~d.mktval)
>Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1017272 Kb
>In addition: Warning message:
>Reached total allocation of 1000Mb: see help(memory.size)
>>

I even tried to increase memory assigned by doing

> memory.limit(2000)
NULL
> test <- lm(d.tdc2~d.mktval)
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1017272 Kb
> memory.limit(3000)
NULL
> test <- lm(d.tdc2~d.mktval)
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1017272 Kb
>

I also tried
TARGET C:\R\rw1061\bin\Rgui.exe --max-mem-size=2G

Thanks a lot,

Chris
