Advanced R.

"The author has become one of the foremost authorities on this topic and is well known and appreciated throughout the entire R community. This is the great strength of the book and the primary reason it deserves to be published. It addresses a topic where there is already a growing number of books, but few have the depth, the technical accuracy, and the authority of this one." -Bill Venables, CSIRO

Advanced R presents useful tools and techniques for attacking many types of R programming problems, helping you avoid mis-takes and dead ends. With more than ten years of experience pro-gramming in R, the author illustrates the elegance, beauty, and flex-ibility at the heart of R.

The book develops the necessary skills to produce quality code that can be used in a variety of circumstances. You will learn:

* The fundamentals of R, including standard data types and functions

Functional programming as a useful framework for solving wide classes of problems

The positives and negatives of metaprogramming

How to write fast, memory-efficient code

This book not only helps current R users become R programmers but also shows existing programmers what's special about R. Inter-mediate R programmers can dive deeper into R and learn new strat-egies for solving diverse problems while programmers from other languages can learn the details of R and understand why R works the way it does.
