With Rcpp  the transfer of data between R and C is nearly seamless  and high-performance statistical computing is finally accessible to most R users. Rcpp should be part of every statisticians toolbox. -- Michael Braun  MIT Sloan School of Management  \"Seamless R and C integration with Rcpp\" is simply a wonderful book. For anyone who uses C\/C and R  it is an indispensable resource. The writing is outstanding. A huge bonus is the section on applications. This section covers the matrix packages Armadillo and Eigen and the GNU Scientific Library as well as RInside which enables you to use R inside C. These applications are what most of us need to know to really do scientific programming with R and C. I love this book. -- Robert McCulloch  University of Chicago Booth School of Business  Rcpp is now considered an essential package for anybody doing serious computational research using R. Dirks book is an excellent companion and takes the reader from a gentle introduction to more advanced applications via numerous examples and efficiency enhancing gems. The book is packed with all you might have ever wanted to know about Rcpp  its cousins (RcppArmadillo  RcppEigen .etc.)  modules  package development and sugar. Overall  this book is a must-have on your shelf. -- Sanjog Misra  UCLA Anderson School of Management  The Rcpp package represents a major leap forward for scientific computations with R. With very few lines of C code  one has Rs data structures readily at hand for further computations in C. Hence  high-level numerical programming can be made in C almost as easily as in R  but often with a substantial speed gain. Dirk is a crucial person in these developments  and his book takes the reader from the first fragile steps on to using the full Rcpp machinery. A very recommended book! -- Sren Hjsgaard  Department of Mathematical Sciences  Aalborg University  Denmark  \"Seamless R and C  Integration with Rcpp\" provides the first comprehensive introduction to Rcpp. Rcpp has become the most widely-used language extension for R  and is deployed by over one-hundred different CRAN and BioConductor packages. Rcpp permits users to pass scalars  vectors  matrices  list or entire R objects back and forth between R and C with ease. This brings the depth of the R analysis framework together with the power  speed  and efficiency of C.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647253962805,"sku":"ByrdShop_1461468671","price":60.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781461468677.jpg?v=1781690863","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/seamless-r-and-c-integration-with-rcpp-use-r-64-9781461468677","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
