Creating tables with big.matrix objects
A final advantage to using big.matrix is that if you know how to use R's matrices, then you know how to use a big.matrix. You can subset columns and rows just as you would a regular matrix, using a numeric or character vector and the object returned is an R matrix. Likewise, assignments are the same as with R matrices and after those assignments are made they are stored on disk and can be used in the current and future R sessions.
One thing to remember is that $ is not valid for getting a column of either a matrix or a big.matrix.
