Functions for creating and reshaping big data in R using the FF package
问题 I'm new to R and the FF package, and am trying to better understand how FF allows users to work with large datasets (>4Gb). I have spent a considerable amount of time trawling the web for tutorials, but the ones I could find generally go over my head.
