Subject: beginner's problem in displaying large data
In-Reply-To: <b68812e7041116150774a548b9@mail.gmail.com>
1. Did you try "dim(sample.data)"? Is it actually 2200 by 15?
Or are you reading in just some subset of the data? If it is 2200 by
15, could you also please do "class(sample.data)"?
2. I just got a full listing from the following:
(tst <- data.frame(array(rnorm(2200), dim=c(2200, 15))))
You might try this. With R 2.0.0patched under Windows 2000, I got
rows 1:2200 flying by 3 times, each with 5 columns.
3. Have you considered doing plots (including qqnorm) of numeric
variables and tables of character variables? These can often reveal
problems I might never see in a simple scan of numbers.
4. "PLEASE do read the posting guide!
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html". At minimum, please tell
us which version of R under which operating system, and specifically
what you did to get it into R and how you know it's 2200 by 15.
hope this helps.
