Hi, I have this function (largely based on this post by Thomas Lumley : http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/6984642.html)
> yapply function(X,FUN, ...) { index <- seq(length.out=length(X)) namesX <- names(X) if(is.null(namesX)) namesX <- rep(NA,length(X)) FUN <- match.fun(FUN) fnames <- names(formals(FUN)) if( ! "INDEX" %in% fnames ){ formals(FUN) <- append( formals(FUN), alist(INDEX=) ) } if( ! "NAMES" %in% fnames ){ formals(FUN) <- append( formals(FUN), alist(NAMES=) ) } mapply(FUN,X,INDEX=index, NAMES=namesX,MoreArgs=list(...)) } > yapply(temp, function(x) x^2 ) x y x 4 9 16 > yapply(temp, function( x ) INDEX ) x y x 1 2 3 > yapply(temp, function( x ) NAMES ) x y x "x" "y" "x" Cheers, Romain -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 11/04/2008 22:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [R] conditioning inside an lapply >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: 2008/04/11 Fri PM 04:16:56 CDT >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [R] conditioning inside an lapply in my previous example, the last name in temp should have been z not x. i didn't intend to have duplicate names in temp.
