* `R/surveyFA.R`에서 가장 분산이 작은 항목(가장 작은 `p_value`)을 검색할 때 `names(sort(p_values))[1L]` 대신 `names(p_values)[which.min(p_values)]`를 사용하도록 수정.
* 이 변경을 통해 O(N log N) 시간 복잡도를 갖는 정렬 연산을 생략하고 O(N)의 선형 탐색으로 최적화함.
* 최적화 기법에 대한 교훈을 `.jules/bolt.md`에 문서화함.
* `surveyFA` 최솟값 분산 항목 탐색 로직에 대한 테스트 케이스 추가 및 커버리지 개선 (100% test pass).

 ## 2025-02-12 - R 언어에서 반복적인 mirt 모델 생성 시 불필요한 데이터프레임 부분집합 추출 최적화
 **Learning:** R에서 데이터프레임의 특정 열을 추출하는 작업(`df[cols]`)은 O(N)의 메모리 복사를 수반합니다. `autoFIPC`에서 `mirt` 모델의 파라미터를 설정하거나 호출하는 과정 중에 `newformXDataK[colnames(newFormModel@Data$data)]` 코드가 반복해서 사용되었고, 심지어 `ncol()`을 위해 단순히 개수를 구할 때도 사용되어 불필요한 메모리 할당과 오버헤드를 초래했습니다.
 **Action:** 조건문이나 반복문 내부에서 불필요하게 데이터프레임 부분집합 연산이 반복되지 않도록 외부에서 한 번만 `linkedFormData <- newformXDataK[colnames(newFormModel@Data$data)]`로 캐싱(caching)한 뒤, `ncol(linkedFormData)`와 `data = linkedFormData` 형태로 재사용하여 메모리 복사와 O(N) 오버헤드를 방지해야 합니다.
+## 2024-07-26 - R 언어에서 최솟값/최댓값 탐색 시 정렬(sort) 오버헤드 최적화
+**Learning:** R에서 벡터의 최솟값 또는 최댓값을 찾기 위해 `sort(x)[1]` 또는 `names(sort(x))[1]`과 같이 전체를 정렬하는 방식을 사용하면, O(N log N)의 불필요한 연산 오버헤드가 발생하여 성능이 저하됩니다.
+**Action:** `which.min(x)` 또는 `which.max(x)`를 활용하여 `names(x)[which.min(x)]`와 같이 변경함으로써 전체 데이터를 정렬하지 않고 O(N) 선형 탐색으로 성능을 향상시켜야 합니다.
