splitfngr (version 0.1.2)

fngr: Access a list of values separately but calculate them together. This function generalizes grad_share for any number of functions.

Description

Access a list of values separately but calculate them together. This function generalizes grad_share for any number of functions.

Usage

fngr(func, evalForNewX = TRUE, recalculate_indices = c(),
  check_all = FALSE)

Arguments

func

Function that returns a list of values

evalForNewX

Should the function reevaluate for any new x? Recommended.

recalculate_indices

Indices for which the values should be recalculated. Ignored if evalForNewX is true. Use this if you don't want to pass x to dependent functions, or if you know other indices won't need to be recalculated.

check_all

Should it check that the accessed values were calculated at the current input? Ignored if evalForNewX is true. Will give a warning but still return the stored value.

Value

An environment where the function values are calculated.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
tfunc <- function(x) {list(x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4, x+5)}
f <- fngr(tfunc)
f(1)(0)
f(3)(0)
f(3)(1)
f(1)(23.4)
f(4)()

# Use same function but only recalculate when first value is called
g <- fngr(tfunc, evalForNewX = FALSE, recalculate_indices = c(1))
g1 <- g(1)
g3 <- g(3)
g1(1)
g3(1)
g3(11) # This won't be give expected value
g1(11) # This updates all values
g3(11) # This is right
# }
