Many thanks for your suggestions, fortunately when I closed R and opeedn it again, it did not give again that error. However, now there is something more strange happening, related again to sparse matrix, and I am afraid it could concern memory problems (I put 4000 of memory limit).
I am defining a matrix where I have nrow=113289, ncol=36698 such as: D<- as.matrix.csr(0, nrow, ncol) Error in if (length(x) == nrow * ncol) x <- matrix(x, nrow, ncol) else { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed In addition: Warning message: In nrow * ncol : NAs produced by integer overflow With reduced number of rows and columns it worked, so I am wondering wether it is a problem of memory. My pc has 6gb of nmemory, and it is 64-bit windows system, but R reads only 4 has capacity.
