make_rbmi_cluster: Create a 'rbmi' ready cluster

In rbmi: Reference Based Multiple Imputation

Create a rbmi ready cluster

Description

Create a rbmi ready cluster

Usage

make_rbmi_cluster(ncores = 1, objects = NULL, packages = NULL)

Arguments

ncores	Number of parallel processes to use or an existing cluster to make use of
objects	a named list of objects to export into the sub-processes
packages	a character vector of libraries to load in the sub-processes This function is a wrapper around parallel::makePSOCKcluster() but takes care of configuring rbmi to be used in the sub-processes as well as loading user defined objects and libraries and setting the seed for reproducibility. If ncores is 1 this function will return NULL. If ncores is a cluster created via parallel::makeCluster() then this function just takes care of inserting the relevant rbmi objects into the existing cluster.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Basic usage
make_rbmi_cluster(5)

# User objects + libraries
VALUE <- 5
myfun <- function(x) {
    x + day(VALUE) # From lubridate::day()
}
make_rbmi_cluster(5, list(VALUE = VALUE, myfun = myfun), c("lubridate"))

# Using a already created cluster
cl <- parallel::makeCluster(5)
make_rbmi_cluster(cl)

## End(Not run)
