I always enjoy reading the posts by Francis Smart on his Econometrics by Simulation blog. A couple of days ago he wrote a nice piece titled, “It is Time for RData Files to Become the Standard for Data Transfer”.
Francis made some very nice points about the handling of large amounts of data, and he provided some good examples regarding the compression rates and opening times for RData files as compared with other options. The comments to his post are also most helpful.
If you’re using or exchanging large data files, you’ll find Francis’s post most helpful.
