R help - May 2011 - do.call and applying na.rm=TRUE

Hi all!  I need to do something really simple using do.call.

If I want to call the mean function inside do.call, how do I apply the
condition na.rm=TRUE?

So, I use do.call(mean, list(x)) where x is my data.  This works fine if
there are no NAs.

Thanks,

John

?do.call

Second argument is a list of arguments to pass. Try do.call(mean,
list(x, na.rm = T))
