The R programming environment provides a rich suite of
methods and algorithms for statistical model fitting and computation in
general. The exploratory interface of R makes it an ideal platform for
prototyping, analyzing and deploying new algorithms in an open and
extensible manner. This tutorial will begin with a short
self-contained introduction to R and its package mechanism for
programming extensions. We will then discuss some packages for
distributed, cryptographic, homomorphic, and differential privacy
computations. The tutorial will include hands-on programming
exercises. The goal is to provide the background and programming
knowledge so that participants can develop their own packages
implementing new algorithms.
