Hi again all,
I can read all of the data is in CSV format with a header row and with
1,200,240 rows.
I can do all the plots and ggplot2 has no problems.
Seems to be a problem with the MASS package???
It seems that the contour plots are the problem with the memory error.
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 228.9 Mb
I can run smaller data sets and do the contour plots w/o problems.
The data can not really be summarized as I need to plot the actual values to
get the insight into the large data sets.
I am using latest R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)
My alternative is to bump up the memory of my one Dell workstation to 16 GB
as it runs with Ubuntu and can access that amount if I figure out how to
install R on a Linux box.
It may not truly be a memory issue but a limit to how MASS does the contour
plots?
This works 100% with the large data sets.
Bodega <- read.csv ("C:/R-Stats/Bat calls/Bodega.csv")
attach(Bodega)
library(ggplot2)
f=jpeg(file="Bodega Sc_Fc plot.jpg")
print(qplot(Sc, Fc))
dev.off()
f=jpeg(file="Bodega Fc Dens plot.jpg")
print(qplot(Fc,geom="density"))
dev.off()
This does not.and I get the vector size error.
library(MASS)
library(batcalls)
BRC<-kde2d(Sc,Fc)
f=jpeg(file="Rainey contour plot.jpg")
filled.contour(BRC)
dev.off()
Thanks again for in sight as I trundle up the learn curve for R.
Bruce
