[R] how to allocate more memory

[Simon M Lin]

Hello,

I am new to R. (Neither am I a statistician. )

Experienced a problem when running an application.
######################
> exp.ravglogpm_express(x, method="ravglogpm", normalize=T,
+         normalize.method= "quantile", span=3/5,
+         choose.subset=T, subset.size=5000, verbose=T, maxit=2)
Performing quantile normalization.
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 12374 Kb
In addition: Warning message:
Reached total allocation of 256Mb: see help(memory.size)
######################

Any quick fix explained in plain English? I am using a PC with384M RAM and 1.5 GB virtual memory.

Thanks!

Simon
