Hi, >From what I understand of your code, you might find the following construct useful,
funs <- c("mean", "sum", "sd", "diff") x <- 1:10 lapply(funs, do.call, args=list(x)) and then working with lists rather than naming every object individually. You might find mapply useful too when you have to pass several parameters.
