🦘bsvars.org design concept pt. 4 🐨

🐋 Once you work with Bayesian structural dynamic non-linear system modelling everything takes a while! So, we delegate EVERYTHING to much faster C++ code! 🦈

🌐 bsvars.org

#bsvars.org #bsvars #bsvarSIGNs #cpp #rstats
Our packages delegate all computational tasks to C++ code. all time-intensive tasks are implemented in C++: estimation and forecasting, ofc. But with Bayesian multivariate dynamic structural non-linear models even simple tasks take time. so impulse responses etc. are implemented in C++ too... and all of them have R wrappers

🖤 bsvars.org design concept pt. 3 💜

⭐ We use RcppArmadillo for linear algebra because we found it very fast on matrix operations and RNGs, well-documented, easy to use in packages. We 🖤 it! Seriously!

🌐 bsvars.org

#bsvars.org #bsvars #bsvarSIGNs #Rcpp #RcppArmadillo #rstats
bsvars.org design concept: Our packages use ReppArmadillo for linear algebra frontier package for linear algebra linking R with C++ library Armadillo; implements fast random number generators; makes C++ code as expressive as R's (or MATLAB's). we love it!

⭐ We implemented C++ code using Rcpp and could not be more glad about that! It's a fantastic facility with many functionalities.

✨ And @eddelbuettel.com is answering all Rcpp questions the following Canadian morning, which is so great!

🌐 bsvars.org

#bsvars.org #bsvars #bsvarSIGNs #Rcpp #rstats
Our packages rely on C++ code implemented using Rcpp: simple package development; simple setup, compilation, linking, object compatibility with R; parallel computations via openMP; super fast on loops; great community support.

🚀 in the nearest posts we'll present the design concept behind the R packages 📦 @bsvars 🚀

Our driving principle was: SPEED and CONVENIENCE 🚄 🏪

Stay tuned for more!
