Apply a Function Over Values in an Environment
Description
eapply
applies FUN
to the named values from an
environment
and returns the results as a list. The user
can request that all named objects are used (normally names that begin with a
dot are not). The output is not sorted and no parent environments are
searched.
Usage
eapply(env, FUN, ..., all.names = FALSE, USE.NAMES = TRUE)
Arguments
env |
environment to be used. |
FUN |
the function to be applied, found via
match.fun .
In the case of functions like + , %*% , etc., the
function name must be backquoted or quoted. |
... |
optional arguments to FUN . |
all.names |
a logical indicating whether to apply the function to
all values. |
USE.NAMES |
logical indicating whether the resulting list should
have names . Setting this to FALSE is faster,
useful however typically only when ls(env) is already
given. |

Examples
require(utils); require(stats)
env <- new.env()
env$a <- 1:10
env$beta <- exp(-3:3)
env$logic <- c(TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE)
# what have we there?
eapply(env, str)
## note however, that 'ls.str(env)' is slightly nicer ..
# compute the mean for each list element
eapply(env, mean)
unlist(eapply(env, mean, USE.NAMES = FALSE))
# median and quartiles for each element (making use of "..." passing):
eapply(env, quantile, probs = 1:3/4)
eapply(env, quantile)
