harvestr (version 0.7.1)

reap: Call a function continuing the random number stream.

Description

The reap function is the central function to harvest. It takes an object, x, extracts the previous seed, ie. state of the random number generator, sets the seed, and continues any evaluation. This creates a continuous random number stream, that is completly reproducible.

Usage

reap(x, fun, ..., hash = digest(list(x, fun, ..., source = "harvestr::reap"), "md5"), cache = getOption("harvestr.use.cache", defaults$cache()), cache.dir = getOption("harvestr.cache.dir", defaults$cache.dir()), time = getOption("harvestr.time", defaults$time()), use.try = getOption("harvestr.use.try", !interactive()))

Arguments

x

an object

fun

a function to call on object

...

hash

hash of the list to retrieve the cache from.

cache

use cache, see Caching in harvestr

cache.dir

directory for the cache.

time

Details

The function calling works the same as the apply family of functions.
