at Le Petit Trianon Theatre (see times)
Come join Dirk Eddelbuettel and a cast of characters including Louis Bajuk-Yorgan, Michael Kane and Simon Urbanek for an introduction to Rcpp and an evening of R conversation.

Dirk Eddelbuettel
An Introduction to Rcpp
Dirk will discuss how the Rcpp package provides R functions as well as C++ classes to offer a seamless integration of R and C++. Rcpp makes it easy to map many R data types back and forth to C++ equivalents. This facilitates writing new code as well as easier integration of third-party libraries. Dirk will demonstrate the simple interactive use of short C++ statements and functions.

Mikhail Kozine
GBM Modeling with R and SkyTree
SkyTree is a machine learning product that can make modeling much faster compared to the standard R packages, both on a single server and on Hadoop cluster. According to the proof-of-concept project performed by Allstate, the GBM models can be created 30-90 times faster (depending on data size and the cluster configuration) without loss of quality.

Gabe Becker
Different tasks in R call for different package versions: devel from GitHub or other SCM when developing against it, old versions from the CRAN Archive (or SCM) when reproducing existing results, specific versions (current or old) used by all participants in collaborations, etc. The switchr package provides a unified framework for managing and working with package cohorts, including automatic retrieval and installation of specified package versions; lightweight, reproducible publication of package cohorts; and convenient management of multiple, side-by-side package libraries.

Louis Bajuk-Yorgan
Real Time Applications using the R language
A brief overview of real-time applications with TIBCO and R
