Hi there
I am new to R and would like to ask some questions which might not make
perfect sense. Anyhow, here they are:
1) I would like very much to use R for processing some big data files
(around 1.7 or more GB) for spatial analysis, wavelets, and power
spectra estimation; is this possible with R? Within IDL, such a big data
set seems to be tractable...
2) I have heard/read that R "puts all its data on ram"? Does this really
mean my data file cannot be bigger than my ram memory?
3) If I have a big enough ram, would I be able to process whatever data
set?? What constrains the practical limits of my data sets??
Thanks!
