nice student project

In all of my undergraduate classes, I require a term project, done in groups of 3-4 students. Though the topic is specified, it is largely open-ended, a level of “freedom” that many students are unaccustomed to. However, some adapt quite well. The topic this quarter was to choose a CRAN package that does not use any C/C++, and try to increase speed by converting some of the code to C/C++.

Some of the project submissions were really excellent. I decided to place one on the course Web page, and chose this one. Nice usage of Rcpp and devtools (neither of which was covered in class), very nicely presented.

Thanks for visiting r-craft.org
