Constant Crashing with no error codes/etc

[szymanskishay]

As title suggests, whenever I run this, I encounter crashing issues. I can start a fresh session and do as follows library(SpiecEasi) library(phyloseq) ps.obj<-readRDS("phyloseqobject.R") se<-spiec.easi(ps.obj, method='mb') and I will get to 'Applying data transformations...' 'Selecting model with pulsar using stars...'

but then R stops responding. If I hit 'stop' in RStudio, it gives a pop-up saying R wont respond to the request to interrupt and that I may need to start a new session.

I have up-to-date phyloseq and spiec.easi, and theres no indication of what dependancies, if any, are missing, conflicting, etc. I know I have run into issues with other programs before with Phyloseq and Matrix, but its not clear to me if this is whats happening here. Also, as the crashing requires terminating, its hard to provide session info or other useful troubleshooting resources.

I have also tried this with just imported transposed OTU tables, and the same problem occurs. Something I have noticed is that over time the memory allocated to R isn't increasing or anything, so I am unsure to what extent its actually doing anything. I don't want to just completely abandon this method, either.

I updated R and R studio and this problem went away
