To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than 
asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the 
experiment died of.

Onderwerp: [R] stop a function

Hi all,

If I use a function in R which takes some parameters as an input, how can I 
stop this function in the while loop and try another parameter in case the 
function takes long time or could not converge.

Actually, I'm using "penalized" function in a loop for some fixed lambdas 
(pre-calculated), for some of them the function converged, but for some not. 
Now I decide to proceed in this way that if it takes longer than 3 mins, stop 
the "penalized" function and try the other lambdas.

I need to do it in the loop since the loop is in the big program and I can't 
manually stop and begin again.

Looking forward to your reply.
