Reading Large datasets in R: filehash

Theoretically, the package 'filehash' makes R handle a large dataset by allowing a hard-disk space instead of a ram area for a dataset loading. I've tested this package with a 1G Stata-format dataset. It didn't work well. Anyway, here is howto:

(1) Install 'filehash'

> install.packages('filehash')
> library(filehash)

(2) Set an environment for the large dataset you'd like to use

> dumpDF(read.csv("largedata.csv"), dbName="dbname")
> envname <- db2env(db="dbname")

(3) Analyze with the environment

> with(envname, lm(y~x))

* envname & dbname can be any name you like.

Beautiful Emacs: Deleting Weird-Characters

To remove weird UTF characters such as \335\277\210 in emacs windows, add the following sentences in ".emacs".

(setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

Beautiful Emacs: Korean 이맥스 한글 폰트

After doing "beautiful emacs", add two lines in ".emacs":

(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x1100 . #xffdc) '("UnBatang" . "unicode-bmp"))
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#xe0bc . #xf66e) '("UnBatang" . "unicode-bmp"))

"UnDotum" is a good alternative font.
