I've already given you an example (ecdf). You can look at the polynom
package as well. Try:
install.packages("polynom")
library(polynom)
as.function.polynomial
Here's one trivial example:
> f <- function(type) { g <- if (type == 1) cos else sin; g; }
> myfun1 <- f(1)
> myfun2 <- f(2)
> myfun1(pi)
[1] -1
> myfun2(pi)
[1] 1.224606e-16
As I said, reading the R Language Definition manual or S Programming helps a
lot.
