First thing to do is to use Rprof to profile your code to see where
the time is being spent, then you can make a decision as to what to
change. Are you carrying out the operations on a dataframe, if so can
you change it to a matrix for some of the operations? You have
provided no idea of what your code or data looks like, or how often
each of the operations is being done.
There are probably many ways of speeding up the code, but with no idea
of what the code is, no solutions can be specified.
