In vetr: Trust, but Verify

Valaddin

Snippet used to compare valaddin to vetr performance. This is not actually generated as part of vignettes because it will then require valaddin as part of the build package, which brings in unwanted dependencies (via suggests) that make the build process slow on travis.

secant <- function(f, x, dx) (f(x + dx) - f(x)) / dx

secant_valaddin <- valaddin::firmly(secant, list(~x, ~dx) ~ is.numeric)

secant_stopifnot <- function(f, x, dx) {
  stopifnot(is.numeric(x), is.numeric(dx))
  secant(f, x, dx)
}

secant_vetr <- function(f, x, dx) {
  vetr(x=numeric(), dx=numeric())
  secant(f, x, dx)
}

library(microbenchmark)
microbenchmark(
  secant_valaddin(log, 1, .1),
  secant_stopifnot(log, 1, .1),
  secant_vetr(log, 1, .1)
)
