[R] adaptIntegrate - how to pass additional parameters to the integrand

Ok, I get it.

require(cubature)

f <- function(x, a) cos(2*pi*x*a)  # a simple test function

# this works
a <- 0.2
adaptIntegrate(function(x, argA=a) f(x, a=argA), lower=0, upper=2)

# but this doesn't work
rm(a)
adaptIntegrate(function(x, argA=a) f(x, a=argA), lower=0, upper=2, a=0.2)

Ravi.

Looks like you are talking about the cubature package rather than about
base R. Frr the latter question: Please ask the package maintainer
rather than the list. Ideally send him code to implement the requested
feature and the maintainer will probably add your code. Not all package
maintainers read R-help.

For an ad hoc solution:

Just use

adaptIntegrate(function(x, argA=a, argB=b) f(x, argA=argA, argB=argB),
......)

in order to set additional arguments for the function call.
