similar to: using do.call to call a list of functions

it is possible to dynamically create functions in R using lists? what I want to do is something like this: a = list() for (i in 1:10) a[[i]] = function(seed = i) runif(seed) so that when I call a[i] I get random draws 1,2,....i unfortunately R only uses the last i . I would also like to know if there is a run-all function without explicitly looping or using lapply. for example if I

I have a vector with a long list of sentences that contain integers. I would like to extract the integers in a manner such that they are separate and manipulatable. for example: x[i] <- "sally has 20 dollars in her pocket and 3 marbles" x[i+1] <- "30 days ago john had a 400k house" all sentences are different and contain a mixture of both integers and characters. i

Why this kind of assignment does not work? n <- 1 f <- ifelse(n == 1, sin, cos) f(pi) this must be rewritten as: n <- 1 f <- cos if (n == 1) f <- sin f(pi) [oops. 1.224606e-16 instead of zero. Damn floating point errors :-/] Alberto Monteiro

hi R folks, I need read a file from hardisk or www web. Then I need to define some new functions according to the contents of the read file. For example, i need write a package name "mypackage" like this: >library(mypackage) >read(some_file_on_web) #to see its content, suppose it contains: eat.drink.sleep then 3 new functions need to be created and usable. the problem is, how

Hi , i am trying to get this loop in my r program to work but it is not giving me the results that I desire. I am trying to model an insurance contract where there are n securities that have a fixed likelihood of default vector(data[i,2]) and a payout vector(data[i,1]). i need to price the value of stop losses at the security level and at the portfolio level. to do this i created two while loops
