> ### **Comments**
***
> From now on the Rfast can be used in C++ via "LinkingTo" mechanism.
> The main namespace is "Rfast". Inside "Rfast" you will find two more namespaces, "vector" and "matrix".
> Namespace "vector" for calling functions using an Rcpp's or RcppArmadillo's vector.
> Namespace "matrix" for calling functions using an Rcpp's or RcppArmadillo's matrices.
> The signatures of the functions and the arguments are the same that are exported in R.
>
> For namespace "vector" the functions that are available are:
>   
> - median(x)
> - var(x, std = false, na_rm = false)
> - mad(x, method = "median", na_rm = false)
> - shuffle(x,engine = Engine(time(0)) // Engine by default is default_random_engine. You can use anyone from C++.
>   
> For namespace "matrix" the functions that are available are:
>   
> * transpose(x)
> * matrix_multiplication(x,y)
> * colSort(x, descend = false, stable = false, parallel = false)
> * rowSort(x, descend = false, stable = false, parallel = false)
> * is_symmetric(x)
> * colMedian(x, na_rm = false, parallel = false)
> * rowMedian(x, na_rm = false, parallel = false)
> * colVars(x, std = false, na_rm = false, parallel = false)
> * rowVars(x, std = false, na_rm = false, parallel = false)
> * colMads(x, method = "median", na_rm = false, parallel = false)
> * rowMads(x, method = "median", na_rm = false, parallel = false)
> * colShuffle(x,engine = Engine(time(0)) // Engine by default is default_random_engine. You can use anyone from C++.
> * rowShuffle(x,engine = Engine(time(0)) // Engine by default is default_random_engine. You can use anyone from C++.
>
> How to use it:
>
> 1. Just add in "LinkingTo" in your NAMESPACE file the "Rfast" or in Rstudio add in the file "//[[Rcpp::depends(Rfast)]]".
>
>  
>  Include in your cpp files the header "Rfast.h" and enjoy!
