Optimizing R Code with Rcpp

R is a great language for data science. Sometimes, however, it can take a while to execute the code. You can combine the convenience of R and the efficiency of a compiled language programming language to create the code you desire.

C++ is a high performance language that has modern features and can be used for R code acceleration. C++ can integrate with R by using the Rcpp Package. This course will show you how to modify R objects (vectors and lists) and how C++ functions can dramatically improve the performance your R code.
