[R] Working with very large datasets and generating an executable file

[Jeff Newmiller]

Large data... yes, though how this can be done may vary. I have used machines with 128G of RAM before with no special big data packages.

Making an executable... theoretically, yes, though there are some significant technical (and possibly legal) challenges that will most likely make you question whether it was worth it if you try, particularly if your intent is to obscure your code from the recipient. I (as a random user and programmer on the Internet) would strongly discourage such efforts... it will almost certainly be more practical to deliver code in script/package form.
