Description: Advanced R helps you understand how R works at a fundamental level. It is designed for R programmers who want to deepen their understanding of the language and programmers experienced in other languages who want to understand what makes R different and special. This book will teach you the foundations of R; three fundamental programming paradigms (functional object - oriented and metaprogramming); and powerful techniques for debugging and optimising your code. By reading this book you will learn: The difference between an object and its name and why the distinction is important The important vector data structures how they fit together and how you can pull them apart using subsetting The fine details of functions and environments The condition system which powers messages warnings and errors The powerful functional programming paradigm which can replace many for loops The three most important OO systems:s 3,s 4, and R 6 The tidy eval toolkit for metaprogramming which allows you to manipulate code and control evaluation Effective debugging techniques that you can deploy regardless of how your code is run How to find and remove performance bottlenecks The second edition is a comprehensive update: New foundational chapters: " Names and values " " Control flow " and " Conditions" comprehensive coverage of object oriented programming with chapters ons 3,s 4, R 6, and how to choose between them Much deeper coverage of metaprogramming including the new tidy evaluation framework use of new package like rlang (http://rlang. r - lib. org) which provides a clean interface to low - level operations and purr (http://purrr. tidyverse. org/) for functional programming Use of color in code chunks and figures Hadley Wickham is Chief Scientist at R Studio an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University and the University of Auckland and a member of the R Foundation. He is the lead developer of the tidyverse a collection of R packages including ggplot 2 and dplyr designed to support data science. He is also the author of R for Data Science (with Garrett Grolemund) R Packages and ggplot 2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis.
