memoiseCache: Cache a function call with an associated seed value

In philliplab/yasss: Yet Another Short Sequence Simulator

Description

Uses simpleCache::simpleCache to implement a form of memoisation. It caches a function's result based on the arguments provided and will reload that value instead of recomputing the function if the arguments match. Additionally allows the user to specify a seed value so that different results based on the same arguments.

Usage

memoiseCache(fun, args, cacheNamePrefix = NULL, seed = NULL, ...)

Arguments

fun	The name of the function to execute as a character string
args	A list of the arguments used by do.call to run fun.
cacheNamePrefix	Optional prefix that gets added to the cacheName. Frequent usage is a diagnostic marker for OCD.
seed	A positive integer that allows extra control over whether or not to compute or load the value from a cache.
