Bert,Thanks a lot for your help. I have a few follow-up questions (shown in
the comment lines). Numerical values and error for a (i) vector and (ii) array.
a <- seq(from=0,to=1,by=0.5)
b <- seq(from=5,to=10,by=1)
m <- seq(from=10,to=20,by=5)
f2 <- function(a,b,m)integrate(function(x){exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-m*x)},lower=0,upper
= Inf)
fv <- Vectorize(f2,vectorize.args=c("a","b","m"),SIMPLIFY=TRUE)
r1 <- fv(a,b,m)
# How to get just the numerical results as an array
# for scalar values of a,b and m, I can get it with
#s <- integrate(f,0,Inf)$value
# How do I get this for a vector
# Finally, if I want an array for all the values of a, b and m, how should I
proceed?
r <- array(0,c(3,6,3))
r.error <- array(0,c(3,6,3))
# I want the results of the vectorized integrate function in the above arrays.
How do I extract these values?
Thanks,Ravi

Ravi:
First of all, you're calling Vectorize incorrectly. The first argument must be
a function *name*, not a function call. Here's what you need to do (and thanks
for the reprex -- wouldn't have been able to help without it!):
f2 <- function(a,b,c)integrate(function(x){exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-c*x)},lower
=0,upper = Inf)
fv <- Vectorize(f2,vectorize.args=c("a","b","c"),SIMPLIFY=TRUE)
Second of all, as you may realize, the vectorization uses mapply() and so
vectorizes the c(a,b,c) triplet "in parallel," which will "recycle" shorter
arguments to the length of longer. Hence you will get 6 results from your
example:
> fv(a,b,m)
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[,6]
value 0.09207851 0.0635289 0.04837997 0.08856628 0.06224138

abs.error 3.365173e-08 3.108388e-06 1.00652e-09 3.284876e-09 1.796619e-08

Hi all,I am having some difficulties in vectorizing the integrate function. Let
me explain with an example.
a <- 10; b <- 3; c <- 4
f <- function(x) {exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-c*x)}
integrate(f,0,Inf) # works fine
My difficulties start when I want to vectorize.
# attempts to vectorize fail
a <- seq(from=0,to=1,by=0.5)
b <- seq(from=5,to=10,by=1)
m <- seq(from=10,to=20,by=5)
f2 <- function(x,a,b,c) {exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-m*x)}
fv <- Vectorize(integrate(f2,0,Inf),vectorize.args=c("a","b","m"),SIMPLIFY=TRUE)
I want the result as a 3-d array with dimensions of the lengths of a, b and c.
I have tried several variants but am not having much luck. Will appreciate any
help that I can get.
Thanks,Ravi Sutradhara
