Hundreds of scattered vignettes, web pages, and forums explain how to use R in particular domains. But little has been written on how to simply make R work effectively--until now. This hands-on book teaches novices and experienced R users how to write efficient R code. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing on years of experience teaching R courses, authors Colin Gillespie and Robin Lovelace provide practical advice on a range of topics--from optimizing the set-up of RStudio to leveraging C++--that make this book a useful addition to any R user's bookshelf. Academics, business users, and programmers from a wide range of backgrounds stand to benefit from the guidance in Efficient R Programming. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet advice for setting up an R programming environment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore general programming concepts and R coding techniques \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the ingredients of an efficient R workflow \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn how to efficiently read and write data in R \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDive into data carpentry--the vital skill for cleaning raw data \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimize your code with profiling, standard tricks, and other methods \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetermine your hardware capabilities for handling R computation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximize the benefits of collaborative R programming \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccelerate your transition from R hacker to R programmer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Gillespie is Senior lecturer (Associate professor) at Newcastle University, UK.

He is regularly employed as a consultant by Jumping Rivers and has been teaching R since 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Lovelace is a researcher at the Leeds Institute for Transport Studies (ITS) and the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA). Robin has many years using R for academic research and has taught numerous R courses at all levels. He has developed a number of popular R resources, including Introduction to Visualising Spatial Data in R and Spatial Microsimulation with R (Lovelace and Dumont 2016). These skills have been applied on a number of projects with real-world applications, including the Propensity to Cycle Tool, a nationally scalable interactive online mapping application and the stplanr package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47212728549625,"sku":"9781491950784","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/b3VnYnduMys4OUNYVURnc240TWF2QT09.webp?v=1768095232","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/efficient-r-programming-a-practical-guide-to-smarter-programming-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
