An Introduction to Rcpp: Integrating C++ in R

R is a powerful yet accessible tool for many aspects of data science.  However, user written functions in R can sometimes be prohibitively slow since R is an interpreted rather than compiled language.  Replacing these with with calls to equivalent functions in C/C++ can often lead to substantial improvements in performance.  This workshop is intended as a first introduction to the Rcpp package for seamless integration of C++ code into R.
