Greetings,
I have been playing around with the R/Parallel package, which can farm out the
computation of a for-loop among multiple worker processes. Each worker gets a
chunk of the for-loop iterations; for example, if you have two workers and
for(x in 1:1000){...}, one worker would typically get iterations 1:500, while
the second does 501:1000.
I would like to be able to preallocate matrices to capture the results within
the for loop, on the first iteration. Is there a way to access the list
argument of the "for" function programmatically from within the loop? I am
referring to the for arguments shown on page 51 of the R Language Definition
manual:
"for"(var,list,expr)
I think I have a work-around, but was curious whether this was possible...
Thanks,
Mike
