Chapter 2 Efficient set-up

Learning objectives:

When we finish this chapter, we will be able to:

  • Use system monitoring to identify bottlenecks in our hardware/code.
  • Keep our R installation and packages up-to-date.
  • Make use of RStudio’s powerful autocompletion capabilities and shortcuts.
  • Modify .Rprofile and .Renviron.
  • Use BLAS (?) if our R number crunching is too slow.
