## Build and install.
|
|
To build the package the `devtools` package is used. This also provides `roxygen2` which is used for documentation and authomatic creaton of the `NAMESPACE` file.
|
|
```R
|
|
setwd("./CVE_R") # Set path to the package root.
|
|
library(devtools) # Load required `devtools` package.
|
|
document() # Create `.Rd` files and write `NAMESPACE`.
|
|
```
|
|
Next the package needs to be build, therefore (if pure `R` package, aka. `C/C++`, `Fortran`, ... code) just do the following.
|
|
```bash
|
|
R CMD build CVE_R
|
|
R CMD INSTALL CVE_0.1.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
Then we are ready for using the package.
|
|
```R
|
|
library(CVE)
|
|
help(package = "CVE")
|
|
```
|
|
## Build and install from within `R`.
|
|
An alternative approach is the following.
|
|
```R
|
|
setwd('./CVE_R')
|
|
getwd()
|
|
|
|
library(devtools)
|
|
document()
|
|
# No vignettes to build but "inst/doc/" is required!
|
|
(path <- build(vignettes = FALSE))
|
|
install.packages(path, repos = NULL, type = "source")
|
|
```
|
|
**Note: I only recommend this approach during development.**
|
|
|
|
## Reading log files.
|
|
The runtime tests (upcomming further tests) are creating log files saved in `tmp/`. These log files are `CSV` files (actualy `TSV`) with a header storing the test results. Depending on the test the files may contain differnt data. As an example we use the runtime test logs which store in each line the `dataset`, the used `method` as well as the `error` (actual error of estimated `B` against real `B`) and the `time`. For reading and analysing the data see the following example.
|
|
```R
|
|
# Load log as `data.frame`
|
|
log <- read.csv('tmp/test0.log', sep = '\t')
|
|
# Create a error boxplot grouped by dataset.
|
|
boxplot(error ~ dataset, log)
|
|
|
|
# Overview
|
|
for (ds.name in paste0('M', seq(5))) {
|
|
ds <- subset(log, dataset == ds.name, select = c('method', 'dataset', 'time', 'error'))
|
|
print(summary(ds))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Environments and variable lookup.
|
|
In the following a view simple examples of how `R` searches for variables.
|
|
In addition we manipulate funciton closures to alter the search path in variable lookup and outer scope variable manipulation.
|
|
```R
|
|
droids <- "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
|
|
|
|
search <- function() {
|
|
print(droids)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
trooper.seeks <- function() {
|
|
droids <- c("R2-D2", "C-3PO")
|
|
search()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
jedi.seeks <- function() {
|
|
droids <- c("R2-D2", "C-3PO")
|
|
environment(search) <- environment()
|
|
search()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
trooper.seeks()
|
|
jedi.seeks()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The next example ilustrates how to write (without local copies) to variables outside the functions local environment.
|
|
```R
|
|
counting <- function() {
|
|
count <<- count + 1 # Note the `<<-` assignment.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
(function() {
|
|
environment(counting) <- environment()
|
|
count <- 0
|
|
|
|
for (i in 1:10) {
|
|
counting()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return(count)
|
|
})()
|
|
|
|
(function () {
|
|
closure <- new.env()
|
|
environment(counting) <- closure
|
|
assign("count", 0, envir = closure)
|
|
|
|
for (i in 1:10) {
|
|
counting()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return(closure$count)
|
|
})()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Another example for the usage of `do.call` where the evaluation of parameters is illustated (example taken (and altered) from `?do.call`).
|
|
```R
|
|
## examples of where objects will be found.
|
|
A <- "A.Global"
|
|
f <- function(x) print(paste("f.new", x))
|
|
env <- new.env()
|
|
assign("A", "A.new", envir = env)
|
|
assign("f", f, envir = env)
|
|
f <- function(x) print(paste("f.Global", x))
|
|
f(A) # f.Global A.Global
|
|
do.call("f", list(A)) # f.Global A.Global
|
|
do.call("f", list(A), envir = env) # f.new A.Global
|
|
do.call(f, list(A), envir = env) # f.Global A.Global
|
|
do.call("f", list(quote(A)), envir = env) # f.new A.new
|
|
do.call(f, list(quote(A)), envir = env) # f.Global A.new
|
|
do.call("f", list(as.name("A")), envir = env) # f.new A.new
|
|
do.call("f", list(as.name("A")), envir = env) # f.new A.new
|
|
```

# Performance benchmarks
|
|
In this section alternative implementations of simple algorithms are compared for there performance.
|
|
|
|
### Computing the trace of a matrix multiplication.
|
|
```R
|
|
library(microbenchmark)
|
|
|
|
A <- matrix(runif(120), 12, 10)
|
|
|
|
# Matrix trace.
|
|
tr <- function(M) sum(diag(M))
|
|
|
|
# Check correctnes and benckmark performance.
|
|
stopifnot(
|
|
all.equal(
|
|
tr(t(A) %*% A),
|
|
sum(diag(t(A) %*% A)),
|
|
sum(A * A)
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
microbenchmark(
|
|
tr(t(A) %*% A),
|
|
sum(diag(t(A) %*% A)),
|
|
sum(A * A)
|
|
)
|
|
# Unit: nanoseconds
|
|
# expr min lq mean median uq max neval
|
|
# tr(t(A) %*% A) 4335 4713 5076.36 4949.5 5402.5 7928 100
|
|
# sum(diag(t(A) %*% A)) 4106 4429 5233.89 4733.5 5057.5 49308 100
|
|
# sum(A * A) 540 681 777.07 740.0 818.5 3572 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```R
|
|
n <- 200
|
|
M <- matrix(runif(n^2), n, n)
|
|
|
|
dnorm2 <- function(x) exp(-0.5 * x^2) / sqrt(2 * pi)
|
|
|
|
stopifnot(
|
|
all.equal(dnorm(M), dnorm2(M))
|
|
)
|
|
microbenchmark(
|
|
dnorm = dnorm(M),
|
|
dnorm2 = dnorm2(M),
|
|
exp = exp(-0.5 * M^2) # without scaling -> irrelevant for usage
|
|
)
|
|
# Unit: microseconds
|
|
# expr min lq mean median uq max neval
|
|
# dnorm 841.503 843.811 920.7828 855.7505 912.4720 2405.587 100
|
|
# dnorm2 543.510 580.319 629.5321 597.8540 607.3795 2603.763 100
|
|
# exp 502.083 535.943 577.2884 548.3745 561.3280 2113.220 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using `crosspord()`
|
|
```R
|
|
p <- 12
|
|
q <- 10
|
|
V <- matrix(runif(p * q), p, q)
|
|
|
|
stopifnot(
|
|
all.equal(V %*% t(V), tcrossprod(V)),
|
|
all.equal(V %*% t(V), tcrossprod(V, V))
|
|
)
|
|
microbenchmark(
|
|
V %*% t(V),
|
|
tcrossprod(V),
|
|
tcrossprod(V, V)
|
|
)
|
|
# Unit: microseconds
|
|
# expr min lq mean median uq max neval
|
|
# V %*% t(V) 2.293 2.6335 2.94673 2.7375 2.9060 19.592 100
|
|
# tcrossprod(V) 1.148 1.2475 1.86173 1.3440 1.4650 30.688 100
|
|
# tcrossprod(V, V) 1.003 1.1575 1.28451 1.2400 1.3685 2.742 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Recycling vs. Sweep
|
|
```R
|
|
(n <- 200)
|
|
(p <- 12)
|
|
(q <- 10)
|
|
X_diff <- matrix(runif(n * (n - 1) / 2 * p), n * (n - 1) / 2, p)
|
|
V <- matrix(rnorm(p * q), p, q)
|
|
vecS <- runif(n * (n - 1) / 2)
|
|
|
|
stopifnot(
|
|
all.equal((X_diff %*% V) * rep(vecS, q),
|
|
sweep(X_diff %*% V, 1, vecS, `*`)),
|
|
all.equal((X_diff %*% V) * rep(vecS, q),
|
|
(X_diff %*% V) * vecS)
|
|
)
|
|
microbenchmark(
|
|
rep = (X_diff %*% V) * rep(vecS, q),
|
|
sweep = sweep(X_diff %*% V, 1, vecS, `*`, check.margin = FALSE),
|
|
recycle = (X_diff %*% V) * vecS
|
|
)
|
|
# Unit: microseconds
|
|
# expr min lq mean median uq max neval
|
|
# rep 851.723 988.3655 1575.639 1203.6385 1440.578 18999.23 100
|
|
# sweep 1313.177 1522.4010 2355.269 1879.2605 2065.399 18783.24 100
|
|
# recycle 719.001 786.1265 1157.285 881.8825 1163.202 19091.79 100
|
|
```
|
|
### Scaled `crossprod` with matmul order.
|
|
```R
|
|
(n <- 200)
|
|
(p <- 12)
|
|
(q <- 10)
|
|
X_diff <- matrix(runif(n * (n - 1) / 2 * p), n * (n - 1) / 2, p)
|
|
V <- matrix(rnorm(p * q), p, q)
|
|
vecS <- runif(n * (n - 1) / 2)
|
|
|
|
ref <- crossprod(X_diff, X_diff * vecS) %*% V
|
|
stopifnot(
|
|
all.equal(ref, crossprod(X_diff, (X_diff %*% V) * vecS)),
|
|
all.equal(ref, crossprod(X_diff, (X_diff %*% V) * vecS))
|
|
)
|
|
microbenchmark(
|
|
inner = crossprod(X_diff, X_diff * vecS) %*% V,
|
|
outer = crossprod(X_diff, (X_diff %*% V) * vecS)
|
|
)
|
|
# Unit: microseconds
|
|
# expr min lq mean median uq max neval
|
|
# inner 789.065 867.939 1683.812 987.9375 1290.055 16800.265 100
|
|
# outer 1141.479 1216.929 1404.702 1317.7315 1582.800 2531.766 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using `Rprof()` for performance.
|
|
The standart method for profiling where an algorithm is spending its time is with `Rprof()`.
|
|
```R
|
|
path <- '../tmp/R.prof' # path to profiling file
|
|
Rprof(path)
|
|
cve.res <- cve.call(X, Y, k = k)
|
|
Rprof(NULL)
|
|
(prof <- summaryRprof(path)) # Summarise results
|
|
```
|
|
**Note: considure to run `gc()` before measuring**, aka cleaning up by explicitely calling the garbage collector.
