mbc

The goal of mbc is to make comparisons between different code expressions. It builds on the R package microbenchmark, adding a comparison of the output provided by each expression in addition to the comparison of run time as given by microbenchmark.

Installation

You can install mbc from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("CollinErickson/mbc")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem. It creates random samples of 100 exponential data points and finds the mean or median. The results show that the mean is 4 times faster (since it doesn't have to sort the values) and that the mean is around 1 while the median is around 0.71.

## basic example code
mbc::mbc(mean(rexp(100)), median(rexp(100)))
