PCMBaseCpp

This is a fast C++ backend for the PCMBase R-package.

Installation

The package needs a C++ 11 compiler and Rcpp to be installed in you R-environment. Once this is done, you can install the most recent version of the package from github:

devtools::install_github("venelin/PCMBaseCpp")

If you experience problems installing the package from github, you may try installing a possibly older version from CRAN:

install.packages("PCMBaseCpp")

Once the package is installed, use the function BenchmarkRvsCpp to evaluate the gain in speed of the likelihood calculation on your machine, relative to the R implementation:

library(PCMBaseCpp)
library(data.table)
options(digits = 4)

# Depending on your use case, you can change the number of traits, as well as the 
# other arguments:
benchRes <- BenchmarkRvsCpp(ks = 2, includeParallelMode = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)
# Example output:
# Performing benchmark for k:  2 ; optionSet:  serial / 1D-multiv. ...
#     k  modelType     N  R mode     logLik  logLikCpp  timeR timeCpp
