Title: Efficient R – the faster code to write

Date: Thursday, August 28, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris Timezone)

Speaker: Selina Baldauf, Selina is a theoretical ecologist and a scientific programmer at the Freie Universität in Berlin. She supports researchers in writing clear, efficient and reproducible code, with a focus on practical, applied solutions. Her work includes the teaching of R, data analysis and scientific coding to her colleague researchers. With a doctorate in ecology and a passion for computer science, she helps scientists to bridge the gap between ecological research and programming.

Description: Writing efficient R code is the key to processing large data sets, reducing runimes and making your workflows more scalable. In this workshop you will learn practical strategies to find and resolve performance problems and how you can use packages that improve code speed and memory efficiency. The topics include:

– Profiling and benchmarking to find slow code and to compare alternatives with ‘Profvis’ and ‘Microbenschmark’

– Best practices to prevent common bottlenecks

– Efficient data analysis with the help of packages such as’ Data.Table ‘,’ Collapse ‘and `Pijl’

– Parallelization with packages of the FutureVerserse

– C ++ Integration to further stimulate performance with ‘RCPP’

The session contains live demonstrations and code examples that must be followed during or after the workshop. Whether you are an experienced R user who wants to optimize your code, or a beginner who is curious about writing more efficient scripts, this session provides insights and tools that you can apply to your work.

Minimum registration costs: 20 euros (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)

If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a student’s participation, who can then participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds also go directly to organizations that work in Ukraine. You can sponsor a certain student or you can leave it to us so that we can assign the sponsored place to students who have registered for the waiting list.

How can I sponsor a student?

• Fill the sponsor formAdding the screenshot of the donation reception (add the screenshot of the donation reception certificate that has been mailed to you instead of the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a certain student or we can assign this place to the students of the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you prefer to prioritize students from developing countries when assigning place (s) that you have sponsored.

If you are a university student and cannot pay the registration costs, you can also register for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by registering for the waiting list).
