Running out of memory in R package

[Peter Spangler]

While running an association analysis using SPSSINC APIORI on a large dataset I receive the an error message that I have reached the maximum 2GB of memory. I have amended the file by adding -max-mem-size=6GB after the "" under R->Properties->Target. This does  not seem to solve the memory problem. Any suggestions?

If you are running 64-bit Statistics and R, you can get more memory than with the 32-bit version, but R still cannot allocate vectors over a fixed size governed by the size of a 32-bit integer.  I don't know how big a problem it can solve, but you may have to sample your data in order to get results.  I don't know whether increasing the minimum criteria would help, but it's easy to try.
