Why are you using eval and not: path <- paste( "C://Program Files//R//R-2.5.1//arima//",nn, sep="") save(x, file = path)
? It's possible that extra environments are getting saved. (Someone with more knowledge of eval might suggest a better solution, but that might be a good place to start) Hadley > > pp=paste( "save( x, file=", sQuote(pp),")", sep="" ) > eval(parse(text=pp)) On 10/1/07, Lloyd Lubet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Sir: > > When I try to save large and very complex recursive objects with some > components containing models (such as the output from arima or lm ), > the resulting file sizes increase by 4 meg per save. > > example directory: > > amex 8 meg > argentina 12 meg > australia 16 meg > ... > > Moreover, I am unable to read these file objects back into R. > I note that readBin and writeBin are only for single mode data such as > numeric. > > Here is a section of my program or script: > > SaveObj = function( x, nn ) { > > pp=paste( "C://Program Files//R//R-2.5.1//arima//",nn, sep="") > > pp=paste( "save( x, file=", sQuote(pp),")", sep="" ) > eval(parse(text=pp)) > } # end of function: SaveObj > load( file="C://Program Files//R//R-2.5.1//arima//amex" ) > > > > > allArima=function( yy, popSize=10, generations=5 ){ > > nn = names(yy) > for( i in 1:dim(yy)[2] ) { > > print( paste( " iter: ", i, "name: ", " ", names(yy)[i],sep="") ) > > # data AVY > Note lagxy <- CreateColumnSpace( yy, column = i, startLag = 1, > endLag = 8, exclude=T, by=1 ) > > xx <- xy$xx > > response = xy$response > > t.index = xy$indx > > > > > # genetically select predictor column space > > result = intGa( response =response, ... , > > FUN = LM, monitor = F, monitorFun = nn.Monitor, > > Evaluator = Std.Eval, wildCardPct = 0.10, > > parm1 = 4, parm2 = 1, parm3 = 3 ) > > x.model=result$bestModel > > SaveObj( x=x.model, nn=nn[i] ) > > rm(result,x.model) > > } # end for > > > return( formulaLst ) > > } # end of allArimaVery Sincerely,Lloyd Lubet > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- http://had.co.nz/ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
