armor: fetch errors gently

Description

armor is a helper function that catches errors and creates an output that can be used for further processing.

Usage

armor(f, n = 1)

Arguments

f	is the function that needs armor.
n	is the number of Zero repeats if a function fails.

Value

gives a numeric value (S3 class) as output for errors

Examples

# Fetch the error from the diffQ function
require(MBmca)
# In the following the approximate derivative of the amplification curve data
# x <- RAS002[, 1] and y <- RAS002[, 2] is calculated by diffQ(). 
# This will not give an error.
x <- RAS002[, 1]
y <- RAS002[, 2]
armor_diffQ_passes <- armor(MBmca::diffQ(cbind(x, y), verbose = TRUE)$xy)
armor_diffQ_passes
#
# In the following the approximate derivative of the sequences x <- 1:40
# and y <- 1:40 is calculated by diffQ(). However, this will fail.
# This will give the "internal" error
# > 
# Error in list.res[[i]][[8]] : subscript out of bounds
# that is resolved to 0.
x <- 1:40
y <- 1:40
armor_diffQ_fails <- armor(MBmca::diffQ(cbind(x, y), verbose = TRUE)$xy)
