Re: [R] Parallel computations using snow: how to combine boot objects?

2005-01-25 Thread Luke Tierney
The example ducks that issue. Someone needs to write a function for
merging these results.  Probably just involves making a suitable call
to boot.return, which is what happens at the end of boot(), but I
don't know if anyone has actually done this yet.

  cl.nuke.boot -

 + fit.pred=new.fit, x.pred=new.data)
 
 which gives me a list of n boot objects (where n is the number of nodes
 in my cluster). So far, so good.
 
 However, if I now want to go further, I need to combine all these boot
 objects to a single one which I can pass to boot.ci for example. Is
 there a recommended way to do this?
 
 Thanks,

Take a look at the utility function in snow called something like 
clusterSplit.
