If I know the types of data and number of elements to put into a list or data.frame is it possible to predict the size of the R object?

i.e. for any n (assume replace = T if need be):

   obj <- list(some_letters = letters[sample(n)], some_months = month.name[sample(n)], some_nums = 1:n)

what would be the formula to predict the size of obj?

  • This is relevant here: http://stackoverflow.com/q/29701721/1412059 I think at best you might be able to estimate an upper boundary for the memory size. – Roland May 18 '15 at 09:01
