This will do it.

> a <- array(1:12, c(4, 3))
> d <- function(a,b,c) {a+b+c}
> apply(a, 1, function(x) do.call("d", sapply(x, list)))

Subject: [R] applying a function over an array


Is there a way to apply a function with several arguements over an 
array? For instance if you had a function d<-function(a,b,c) {a+b+c} and

a 4,3 array, could you apply the function over each line of the array? 
tapply seems to only allow one argument, and I just can't think of a way

to explicitly tell R that I am passing it 3 distinct objects instead of 
1 complex one.  Thank you as always for your help. ~Erithid
