Taylor & Francis Extending R by John M. Chambers

Up-to-Date Guidance from One of the Foremost Members of the R Core Team_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Written by John M. Chambers, the leading developer of the original S software, Extending R covers key concepts and techniques in R to support analysis and research projects. It presents the core ideas of R, provides programming guidance for projects of all scales, and introduces new, valuable techniques that extend R._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_The book first describes the fundamental characteristics and background of R, giving readers a foundation for the remainder of the text. It next discusses topics relevant to programming with R, including the apparatus that supports extensions. The book then extends R's data structures through object-oriented programming, which is the key technique for coping with complexity. The book also incorporates a new structure for interfaces applicable to a variety of languages._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_A reflection of what R is today, this guide explains how to design and organize extensions to R by correctly using objects, functions, and interfaces. It enables current and future users to add their own contributions and packages to R._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_A 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title_x000D_ _x000D_ Understanding R _x000D_ Objects, Functions and Interfaces _x000D_ Three Principles _x000D_ Everything is an Object _x000D_ Everything is a Function Call _x000D_ Interfaces are Part of R _x000D_ Functional Programming _x000D_ Object-Oriented Programming _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Evolution _x000D_ Computational Methods _x000D_ The First Version of S_x000D_ Functional, Object-Based S _x000D_ R Arrives and Evolves _x000D_ Evolution of Object-Oriented Programming _x000D_ Functional OOP in S and R _x000D_ S4 and R _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ R in Operation _x000D_ Objects and References _x000D_ Function Calls _x000D_ Interfaces _x000D_ The R Evaluator _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Programming with R _x000D_ Small, Medium and Large _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Functions _x000D_ Functional Programming and R _x000D_ Assignments and Replacements _x000D_ Computing on the Language _x000D_ Interfaces and Primitives _x000D_ Getting it to Run Faster _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Objects _x000D_ Types and Attributes _x000D_ Object Management _x000D_ Reference Objects; Environments _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Packages _x000D_ Understanding Packages _x000D_ Installing a Package _x000D_ Loading and Attaching a Package _x000D_ Sharing your Package _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ In the Large _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Object-Oriented Programming _x000D_ Classes and Methods in R _x000D_ OOP Software in R _x000D_ Functional and Encapsulated OOP _x000D_ Creating Classes in R _x000D_ Creating Methods in R _x000D_ Example: Classes for Models _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Functional OOP in R _x000D_ Functional OOP in Extending R _x000D_ Defining Classes _x000D_ Defining Methods and Generic Functions _x000D_ Classes and Methods in an R Package _x000D_ Functional Classes in Detail _x000D_ Generic Functions in Detail _x000D_ Functional Methods in Detail _x000D_ S3 Methods and Classes _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Encapsulated OOP in R _x000D_ The Structure of Encapsulated OOP _x000D_ Using Encapsulated OOP _x000D_ Defining Reference Classes _x000D_ Fields in Reference Classes _x000D_ Methods in Reference Classes _x000D_ Functional Methods for Reference Classes _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Interfaces _x000D_ Understanding Interfaces _x000D_ Introduction _x000D_ Available Interfaces _x000D_ Subroutines and Evaluators _x000D_ Server Language Software _x000D_ Server Language Computations _x000D_ Server Language Object References _x000D_ Data Conversion _x000D_ Interfaces for Performance _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ The XR Structure for Interfaces _x000D_ Introduction _x000D_ The XR Interface Structure _x000D_ Evaluator Objects and Methods _x000D_ Application Programming _x000D_ Specializing to the Server Language _x000D_ Proxy Objects _x000D_ Proxy Functions and Classes _x000D_ Data Conversion _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ An Interface to Python _x000D_ R and Python _x000D_ Python Computations _x000D_ Python Programming _x000D_ Python Functions _x000D_ Python Classes _x000D_ Data Conversion _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ An Interface to Julia _x000D_ R and Julia _x000D_ Julia Computations _x000D_ Julia Programming _x000D_ Julia Functions _x000D_ Julia Types _x000D_ Data Conversion _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Subroutine Interfaces _x000D_ R, Subroutines and C++ _x000D_ C++ Interface Programming _x000D_ C++ Functions _x000D_ C++ Classes _x000D_ Data Conversion _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Bibliography _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Index_x000D_
