taking in account results of a gmml in despite of error warning about memory?

Hi Glenda,

Try the following with a fresh session of R to maximise memory:
memory.limit(size=4095)
# report memory limit
memory.limit(size=NA)
# maximum amount of memory obtained from the OS is reported
memory.limit(size=TRUE)
# amount currently in use
memory.limit(size=FALSE)


When u clean your workspace using rm(), u may need to run gc() to free up
space.


Also to double check its size, and not something else try running it on a
subset of the data. Although as U have random effects U'll need to insure
the subset has the right data that the random component makes sense.

It may also be due to U estimating a huge covariance matrix, think about
how big it would be.

Subject: [R-sig-ME] taking in account results of a gmml in despite of
error warning about memory?

Hi to everyone,

I have being trying to fit aglmm on binay and poisson data and when I
run this model, with poisson data, the error below shows up. But still
gives me results. Does this means that those are only partial results
and shouldn't be taking into account, because the model didn't run fully?

 glmmab.FMv<-glmer(abundance~c.census*avail.surface*abundance.prev

+(0+spp|tree), data=db.e_St, family=poisson(link=log))
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 183 Kb
In addition:Warning messages:
1: In structure(list(message = as.character(message), call = call),  :
   Reached total allocation of 4061Mb: see help(memory.size)
2: In structure(list(message = as.character(message), call = call),  :
   Reached total allocation of 4061Mb: see help(memory.size)


I am using the latest version of R and R studio. As I have seen before
that some complicated models don't run at all if I had already many
other models as objects in the workspace, I did run this one with the
minimum use of memory (just the database as an object). I also read that
R is suppose to do not have memory problems any more, but I don't really
know how to expand the use of memory by R on my pc. For what I observed
with mem.limits() it appears unlimited (NA), but then if I type
mem.limit(), 4061 shows up. Does that mean that I can not run those
models in my pc at al?.
Here, some more info in the data:

Number of obs: 23407, groups:tree,89


Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this,

## requires LATEST version of coefplot2 from r-forge:

Thanks, Ben, I had already started with MCMCglmm, but did not know about

blme.
