No, not that – Programming.
I need to do some statistical work to test a theory. The best approach in order to compare my results is to do the work in R. But it looks like I’ll need to extend a package. I download the package from CRAN (the Comprehensive R Archive Network), unpack it and start trying to figure out how it all works. Unfortunately, it is written in Fortran, C and R. Untangling it will take forever.
Maybe I’m better off just trying to extend it within R itself – which is of course how the original package writer got into this mess in the first place. ðŸ™
