Microbenchmarking: measuring and improving R code performance

Welcome!

We are so thrilled to have Semiramis Castro as our speaker in our last event of the year. In this session we will discuss the core concepts about Microbenchmarking - that is, how to measure and improve performance of R code. We will base this session on chapter 23 and 24 of the Advanced R book (https://adv-r.hadley.nz/) by Hadley Wickham.
