R Memory “Cannot allocate vector of size N”

问题

I am trying to run the ExtremeBound package on R and it is crashing when I run it because the memory seems to be too small...

Here is the error message:

Error: cannot allocate vector of size 2.6 Gb
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In colnames(vif.satisfied) <- colnames(include) <- colnames(weight) <- colnames(cdf.mu.generic) <- vars.labels :

I have allocated 800GB of Hardware as RAM (which is 16GB installed) and my Windows 10 Computer is working on an Intel i7.

How can I tell R to use the additional allocated RAM? I looked up other questions but the answers redirect to the use of packages that seem to make the entire matter more complicated.

Also, here is my sessionInfo():

Thank you very much!
