I would like to apply a function 'f' to the lagged version of a vector and the vector itself.
This is easy to do explicitly: mapply( f, v[-1], v[-length(v)] ) or in the case of a pointwise vector function, simply f( v[-1], v[-length(v)] ) This is essentially the same as 'diff' but with an arbitrary function, not '-'. Is there a standard way to do this? Is there any particular reason that 'diff' should not have an 'f' argument? -s [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
