unsass: Unstructuring assignments

In simonsays1980/finmix: An R package for Bayesian estimation of finite mixture distributions

Description

unsass assigns multiple objects in its argument rhs (right-hand side) to multiple objects (names) chained in its argument lhs (left-hand-side).

This is a helper function to simplify the use of the package. The right-hand side can be a function that returns multiple objects and the left-hand side must be a formula with objects (names) chained by ~. Assignment works via lhs %=% rhs.

Usage

unsass(lhs, rhs)

Arguments

lhs	A formula chaining multiple objects (names) together by ~. These are the objects (names) the right-hand side should be assigned to.
rhs	A list of objects that should be assigned to the left-hand side lhs.
