In order to support COVID-19 containment efforts, including social distancing, we have decided to cancel the upcoming in-person Optimizing R Code workshop and will teach this workshop online instead. We will contact you directly when we have developed the online content and have a new date and time for this event.  

Thank you for your understanding.

R is often considered a slow programming language. In some cases, this is caused by inefficient code. This workshop examines how to write R programs which are more efficient. Topics will include the causes for R being slow, techniques for making R code run faster, and methods for timing blocks of code.

Prerequisite: Some programming experience with R
