Creating a Large Matrix in ff
- by Ryan Rosario
I am trying to create a huge matrix in ff, and I know that ff is good for this sort of thing.
But, there is a major problem. The dimensions of the matrix exceed .Machine$max_integer! I am running on a 64 bit machine, using 64bit R and 64bit ff.
Is there any way to get around this problem?
It's been suggested that R is using the MAXINT value…
