Hy all,
Is there a direct way to build the complete function call of an arbitrary
function?
Here's what I want to do. A function will build a function which will itself
call a probability density function for some law given in argument to the
first function:
> f("gamma", 1000)
will return, say,
function(x, shape, rate, scale = 1/rate)
dgamma(x + 1000, shape, rate, scale = 1/rate)
(Notice that the arguments of the output function are those of dgamma().)
I tried all sorts of combinations of call(), formals(), args() et al. to no
avail. But then, I avoided, so far, to build the whole thing as a character
string. Would it be the only option?
Thanks for any help.
