Hello All,
I am having a problem with this:
file<-array(dim=c(1440,720,700,3))
Error in array(dim = c(1440, 720, 700, 3)) :
'dim' specifies too large an array
I have a memory of 20GB, But I do not know where is the problem!Any help
When I replaced 700 by any number bellow like( 600,500),it worked without
any problem.
From http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/LongVectors.html : Prior to R 3.0.0, all vectors in R were restricted to at most 2^31 - 1
1440*720*700*3
[1] 2177280000
2^31-1
[1] 2147483647 So you need R>=3.0.0 (on a 64-bit system). Ben Bolker
