Dear list,
I'm wondering how to optimize functions/processes like the one shown
below (which simplifies something we're trying to do with very large
datasets).
In many cases I've noticed that using apply, sapply etc can help
speeding up processes, but in this case I don't see how I could do so.
a <- runif(10000000,0.5,1.6)
C <- 2
M <- 10000000
system.time( for (i in 1:(M-1)) {C <- C* c(a[i],a[i+1])} )
By the way, I'm using R-2.7.2 on Win XP and/or Fedora Linux.
Thank's in advance for any hints,
Wolfgang Raffelsberger
