R is full of tricks and techniques that can streamline your work but may be unknown to many users, even to intermediate-level users. This talk shines some light on several that I use frequently. The range of tricks touches on handy syntax, data structures, programming, statistics, and workflow.
Examples include: unpacking vectors and lists; quickly dissecting data structures; defensive programming techniques; tricks with RStudio; easily extracting regression statistics; quick fitting of distributions; and many low-level tricks.
