Re: [R] Stop a loop if it takes long time

2018-07-24 Thread Jeff Newmiller
Depends somewhat on what you are doing in the loop and how much of a 
performance hit you are willing to accept. [1]

[R] Stop a loop if it takes long time

2018-07-24 Thread Christofer Bogaso
Hi,

Let say I am implementing a loop using for() / apply()-family etc.

Now, the calculation-time within a particular loop is not fixed, means,
some loop takes a long time to finish calculation, and next loop perhaps
very quick to finish.

I am exploring if there is any way, to check if the calculation within a
particular loop takes longer time than a pre-fixed threshold and if it does
then kill that loop and proceed to the next.

Is it possible to implement such without adding much overhead with existing
calculation?

Thanks for your feedback
