[Rsiena-help] Converting to Siena objects--memory overload

[Ruth Ripley]

Dear Jennifer,

I don't understand this, as sienaNet does very little processing and 
your objects should not be huge. I suggest you stop the process.

Please can you help me with a bit more information: do the command 
sessionInfo() within an R session and send the result.

It might also help to see the R commands you used to create the 
matrices. And if you would like to send me the data privately I could 
try it out for you.

Regards,

Ruth
