cannot allocate ...

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can avoid this error?

Error: cannot allocate vector of size 554 Kb 

I assume that you are using R under windows. Try functions memory.size()
and memory.limit(). The first will show how much memory R uses and the
second will set the maximum memory size R can use. Something like

memory.limit(512)

will do the trick. It tells R that it can use up to 512MB of memory. Do
?memory.limit for more details.

I think that these functions are only in R build for Windows. If you
can't avoid using a lot of memory I shoud advise you (based on my
personal experience) to use R under Linux.
