How does processing time vary by data size?

# Load the microbenchmark package
library(microbenchmark)

# Compare the timings for sorting different sizes of vector

mb <- microbenchmark(
# Sort a random normal vector length 1e5
"1e5" = sort(rnorm(1e5)),
# Sort a random normal vector length 2.5e5
"2.5e5" = sort(rnorm(2.5e5)),
# Sort a random normal vector length 5e5
"5e5" = sort(rnorm(5e5)),
"7.5e5" = sort(rnorm(7.5e5)),
"1e6" = sort(rnorm(1e6)),
times = 10
)

# Plot the resulting benchmark object

Reading a [Link] object

# Load the bigmemory package
library(bigmemory)

# Create the [Link] object: x

x <- [Link]("[Link]", header = TRUE,
type = "integer",
backingfile = "[Link]",
descriptorfile = "[Link]")

# Find the dimensions of x

dim(x)

Attaching a [Link] object

# Attach [Link]
mort <- [Link]("[Link]")

# Find the dimensions of mort

dim(mort)

# Look at the first 6 rows of mort

head(mort)

Creating tables with [Link] objects

# Create mort
mort <- [Link]("[Link]")

# Look at the first 3 rows

mort[1:3, ]

# Create a table of the number of mortgages for each year in the data set
table(mort[, "year"])

# Load the biganalytics package
library(biganalytics)
 # Get the column means of mort
colmean(mort)

# Use deepcopy() to create first_three
first_three <- deepcopy(mort, cols = 1:3,
backingfile = "first_three.bin",
descriptorfile = "first_three.desc")

# Set first_three_2 equal to first_three

first_three_2 <- first_three

# Set the value in the first row and first column of first_three to NA
first_three[1, 1] <- NA

# Verify the change shows up in first_three_2

first_three_2[1, 1]

# but not in mort
