Hi, The data set is indeed highly redundant, mostly zeros (which means I could use sparse matrices, but that's another issue). I have posted an octave ascii file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4000198/freq.txt and a .mat file here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4000198/freq.mat > A few more questions about what's going on: it makes sense that > your ASCII format file is about 75 M (i.e., 10x larger than mine); > presumably your data set is highly redundant so that it can be compressed > to 300Kb? > Any chance you can post your data somewhere, or figure out a way > to generate a sample data set that is similar (i.e. starts at about > 75 M and compresses to 300Kb when saved appropriately in octave)? > > > Ben Bolker -- Stefano Ghirlanda www.intercult.su.se/~stefano - drghirlanda.wordpress.com ______________________________________________ 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.
