Choosing a Function from a Tibble of Function Names and Piping to It: A Solution Using match.fun
Choosing a Function from a Tibble of Function Names and Piping to It In R, data frames (or tibbles) are a common way to store and manipulate data. However, when it comes to functions, there isn’t always an easy way to choose one based on its name or index. This problem can be solved using the match.fun function, which converts a string into a function. Introduction The R programming language is known for its extensive use of pipes (%>%) for data manipulation and analysis.
