Hello,
I have a data set I would like to fit with a multi-state model in RMark. I have 103 individuals and encounter histories with 189 entries. I ran a model with constant parameters and got the following error message:
Error in diag(nrow(complete.design.matrix)) :
cannot allocate vector of length 1262807296
Does this suggest that my data set is too large for RMark/MARK? Some colleagues analyzed this data set back in 2011 and had to use SURVIVE because MARK could not accommodate such long encounter histories but I was hoping that the newest version of MARK would allow for larger data sets. Are there any other options available for fitting multi-state models to a data set of this size?
Thank you very much for your help,
Javan
