Rfast: A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions

A collection of fast (utility) functions for data analysis. Column and row wise means, medians, variances, minimums, maximums, many t, F and G-square tests, many regressions (normal, logistic, Poisson), are some of the many fast functions.
