Code written in C++ runs significantly faster than code written in R, which provides the basis for many leading R packages. Such a design enables users to leverage the best of both worlds: the computational speed delivered by algorithms written in C++ and the convenience of data analysis using R. Fortunately, recent developments have simplified programming in C++ for R applications by automating many processes.

In this session, Tomasz will guide attendees through the basics of this approach, working in RStudio, ensuring object compatibility, using basic algorithmic structures and functional programming, and extending R packages with C++ code. A sequence of hands-on exercises with applications to every statistical modeller toolset, including linear algebra, maximum likelihood estimation, and Gibbs sampling, supports all this.
