Title: Improving Statistical Computation in R



Abstract: Most statistical computation, including most new methods developed as

part of Master’s and PhD theses, uses the R programming language. Most

computational methods are slower than we want them to be; there are many

ways to speed up your code that intermediate R user may not know about.


I will give a broad, practical overview of these methods, including benchmarking and profiling; parallelization; automatic differentiation; memorization; and integration with lower-level languages such as C++.
