  • db-benchmark

    reproducible benchmark of database-like ops

  • base-R is not particularly fast. Use data.table and it's fast assignment/grouping/aggregation

  • data.table

    R's data.table package extends data.frame:

  • Some suggestions: (1) https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table Code based on the data.table will probably be fastest. There are a number of reasons for this. More here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/data.table/vignettes/ and here: https://rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/library/data.table/html/datatable-optimize.html The GForce set of optimizations is well explained here: https://www.brodieg.com/2019/02/24/a-strategy-for-faster-group-statisitics/ (2) setDTthreads() is your friend in data.table (3) I have found (on Windows at least) Microsoft Open R use of parallel MKL faster than CRAN's latest release. See https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/multithread Microsoft recommends using setMKLthreads() if it will help. (4) I think rfast ( https://github.com/RfastOfficial/Rfast ) is a library worth considering although I don't know if it will help you with brms and stan operations.

  • Rfast

    A collection of Rfast functions for data analysis. Note 1: The vast majority of the functions accept matrices only, not data.frames. Note 2: Do not have matrices or vectors with have missing data (i.e NAs). We do no check about them and C++ internally transforms them into zeros (0), so you may get wrong results. Note 3: In general, make sure you give the correct input, in order to get the correct output. We do no checks and this is one of the many reasons we are fast.
