Hi!

I have this assignment in my Data Mining class. The assignment is to analyze US Census Data (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/US+Census+Data+(1990)) which containts 68 attributes and way too many examples for my computer to handle. I'm trying to use RapidMiner to analyze this data.

I haven't been able to read the data successfully without RapidMiner shutting down due to memory loss.

I have tried to read the txt file directly using ReadCSV. Since this didn't work I converted the txt file to a csv file. This didn't work either. Then I tried to filer out all examples except for a few while at the same time removing all attributes except 4. This doesn't work either.

Do any of you guys have any idea of what I should do in order to read this data successfully in RapidMiner?

Thank you for your time.
