RFunction -- R function

Description

An RFunction is a function that wraps around an R function specified by a string. Its arguments are converted to RObject's.

i1 : qnorm = RFunction "qnorm"

o1 = qnorm

o1 : RFunction
 
i2 : qnorm(0.025, "lower.tail" => false)

o2 = [1] 1.959964

o2 : RObject of type double

Any Macaulay2 object may also be used; it is converted to a string with toString.

i3 : RFunction sin

o3 = RFunction[../../../../../Macaulay2/packages/RInterface.m2:145:4-150:15]

o3 : RFunction
 
i4 : oo(pi/4)

o4 = [1] 0.7071068

o4 : RObject of type double
