Dear S-Plus users,
I encountered the following problem:
I have written a function in order to analyse time series ( with monthly
data).
The time series are stored in vectors.
When I test the function with time-series no longer than 400 elements (
approximatively ) the programs works fine, but as soon as the length of
the time series I have to analyse is bigger than 400, the calculation is
dumped.

( the following error is reported with a time-series of length 540 )

Error in 1:ll: Cannot allocate 6786304 bytes: options("object.size") is
 5000000: see options help file
Dumped

Is there anything I can do to avoid this problem ?
Where is exactly the problem ? Does it depend on the efficiency of my
function ?
( S-Plus4 on WindowsNT, pentium 266 with 160 Mb. of RAM )

grateful for any help or advise
Stefano
