min_n: Minimum of Numeric Values

Description

Written in C++, this function tends to run faster than min for large numeric vectors/matrices.

Usage

min_n(x)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector.

Value

Numeric value.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# For large objects, min_n is faster than min
x <- rnorm(100000)
min(x) == min_n(x)
benchmark(min(x), min_n(x), replications = 1000)

# For smaller objects, min_n is slower than min
x <- rnorm(100)
min(x) == min_n(x)
benchmark(min(x), min_n(x), replications = 20000)

# }
