hello
i have a few quick questions.
i am using a windows platform.
how does one include functions from a particular r package in the C code. e.g.
rgamma can be included if we include #include <R.h>
#include <Rmath.h> , and #include <math.h> in the C code. what should be
included if i want to use functions that are inside the MASS package (for
example)?
When performing mcmc one often has code that looks something like this: (an
example)
for (i in 1: largenumber)
{
simulate from a MULTIVARIATE normal distribution. (variables are not all
independent!)
simulate from some gamma distribution
perform some kind of metropolis hastings step}
some other stuf....
assuming that one is unable to vectorise the R code, does it make sense to
write C code to do all of the above steps? how dramatic will the time saved be?
(any ideas)
regards
Allan Clark
