Vectorize | R Documentation |
Vectorize
creates a function wrapper that vectorizes the
action of its argument FUN
.
Vectorize(FUN, vectorize.args = arg.names, SIMPLIFY = TRUE, USE.NAMES = TRUE)
FUN |
function to apply, found via |
vectorize.args |
a character vector of arguments which should be
vectorized. Defaults to all arguments of |
SIMPLIFY |
logical or character string; attempt to reduce the
result to a vector, matrix or higher dimensional array; see
the |
USE.NAMES |
logical; use names if the first ... argument has names, or if it is a character vector, use that character vector as the names. |
The arguments named in the vectorize.args
argument to
Vectorize
are the arguments passed in the ...
list to
mapply
. Only those that are actually passed will be
vectorized; default values will not. See the examples.
Vectorize
cannot be used with primitive functions as they do
not have a value for formals
.
It also cannot be used with functions that have arguments named
FUN
, vectorize.args
, SIMPLIFY
or
USE.NAMES
, as they will interfere with the Vectorize
arguments. See the combn
example below for a workaround.
A function with the same arguments as FUN
, wrapping a call to
mapply
.
