I'm new to R. I'm trying to run hclust() on about 50K items. I have 10 columns to compare and 50K rows of data. When I tried assigning the distance matrix, I get: "Cannot allocate vector of 5GB".
Is there a size limit to this? If so, how do I go about doing a cluster of something this large?
EDIT
I ended up increasing the max.limit and increased the machine's memory to 8GB and that seems to have fixed it.
