Dear, I have written a package with Rcpp. Now I need to test how fast is the function that I wrote. I am wondering to know is there any function or tools to show the time that it cost?
The basic function to time the evaluation of an function call or other type of R expression is system.time(). See the manual page for it. We often use the benchmark function in the rbenchmark package to perform multiple repetitions of timings of different expressions and compare the results.
And also is there any instruction to write a help file for R function?
