Additional arguments.
sparsity
The proportion of sparsity of the matrix if
representation="sparse"
type
"double" or "int"; the storage type of the data matrix. If you
don't know the type, it is probably stored as a double, so the default value
will suffice.
intsize
The size (in bytes) of an integer. Default is 4, but this is
platform dependent.
Value
returns a memuse class object.
Details
These functions provide the memory usage of an unallocated, dense, in-core,
numeric matrix. As the name suggests, howbig() simply returns the
size (as a memuse object).
