logSumExp() benchmarks

This report benchmark the performance of logSumExp() against alternative methods.

Alternative methods

where

> logSumExp_R <- function(lx, ...) {
+     iMax <- which.max(lx)
+     log1p(sum(exp(lx[-iMax] - lx[iMax]))) + lx[iMax]
+ }

Data

> rvector <- function(n, mode = c("logical", "double", "integer"), range = c(-100, +100), na_prob = 0) {
+     mode <- match.arg(mode)
+     if (mode == "logical") {
+         x <- sample(c(FALSE, TRUE), size = n, replace = TRUE)
+     }     else {
+         x <- runif(n, min = range[1], max = range[2])
+     }
+     storage.mode(x) <- mode
+     if (na_prob > 0) 
+         x[sample(n, size = na_prob * n)] <- NA
+     x
+ }
> rvectors <- function(scale = 10, seed = 1, ...) {
