In salad: Simple Automatic Differentiation

Apply functions over array margins of dual objects

Description

This method generalizes 'base::apply' to dual objects.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'dual'
apply(X, MARGIN, FUN, ..., simplify = TRUE)

Arguments

X	a dual object (with array or matrix shape)
MARGIN	a vector giving the subscript which the function will be applied over
FUN	the function to be applied
...	extra arguments for 'FUN'
simplify	a logical indicating whether the results should be simplified

Value

The returned value depends on the values returned by 'FUN', similarly to 'base::apply'
