Hi. I would like to partially apply a function to a list of arguments, and I don't know how to do this in R, without perhaps writing default values to the formals() of my function, or writing to the environment object of a function. For context, my definition of partially apply is: "fix some of the arguments, leaving the others as variables, return a new function that takes the un-fixed arguments from the original function as arguments"
The issue is that I would like several different sets of arguments for the "partially applied" phase, and I think that would involve copying the function to several different places with the above methods. Alternately, I could hard-code the partial applications using a function() form, but I would prefer not to do this, as there will be a sizable number of these closures needed and I'd prefer to automate the process. Thanks! --Mog ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
