[R] Error in vector("double", length) : vector size specified is too large....VLDs

[Tom Colson]

It took about 2 hours on the 64 bit windows platform. Now I just need  to
find my notes from ST733 and remember how to use GSTAT to estimate the
parameters....

Tom,

please try to use the variogram function in package gstat; it doesn't (try
to) store all pairwise differences, but rather accumulates them for distance
intervals.

It will take a while to do this, and there is a chance that you overflow the
counter that keeps the number of point pairs for each interval: 304000^2 >
2^32; it is stored as a C long, so may work on a 64 bit architecture.
Otherwise, I'd suggest to sample your data set.

I'd be interested to hear whether you succeed (or not).
