Hello,
Two lapply questions (system info and sample data below):
1) Why does the first form of command1 add the name of y _after_ the
str() output rather than before as does the second (preferred) form?
# command1 version1
invisible(lapply(ls(pattern='bn'), function(y) cat(y, "\n",
str(get(y)), "\n") ))
# command1 version2 (preferred output)
invisible(lapply(ls(pattern='bn'), function(y) { cat(y,
"\n") ;
str(get(y)) ; cat("\n") } ))
2) Why does the same method as command1 version2 above not work with the
summary() command as does the second (preferred) set of commands?
# command2 version1
lapply(ls(pattern='bn'), function(y) { cat(y, "\n") ;
summary(get(y))
; cat("\n") } )
# command2 version2 (preferred output)
smry.list <- lapply(ls(pattern='bn'), function(y) summary(get(y)))
names(smry.list) <- ls(pattern='bn')
smry.list
Thanx, DaveT.
