Dear Splus Users,
Say I have a function that takes five numeric arguments.
FakeFunc<-function(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)
{
x1+x2+x3+x4+x5
}
Four of the arguments are already in the vector Y:
Y<-c(0.6765, 0.9602, 0.6889, 0.7836)
To call my function, I'd like to be able to feed it Y and x5, instead of
x1-x5,
something like
FakeFunc(Y, x5)
My question is: is it possible to do this so as not to get an error,
and if so, how?
Thank you and Best Regards,
Matt Kurbat
