[Numpy-discussion] Numpy Memory Error with corrcoef

[Nicole Stoffels]

Dear all,

I get the following memory error while running my program:

*Traceback (most recent call last):
   File 
"/home/nistl/Software/Netzbetreiber/FLOW/src/MemoryError_Debug.py", line 
9, in <module>
     correlation = corrcoef(data_records)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/function_base.py", 
line 1992, in corrcoef
     c = cov(x, y, rowvar, bias)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/function_base.py", 
line 1973, in cov
     return (dot(X, X.T.conj()) / fact).squeeze()
MemoryError*

Here an easy example how to reproduce the error:

*#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

from pybinsel import open
from numpy import *

if __name__ == '__main__':

     data_records = random.random((459375, 24))
     correlation = corrcoef(data_records)

*My real data has the same dimension. Is this a size problem of the 
array or did I simply make a mistake in the application of corrcoef?

I hope that you can help me! Thanks!

Best regards,

Nicole Stoffels
