These functions are just a convenient wrapper around <code>a*ply</code> with <code>margins = 1</code> and <code>.fun</code> wrapped in <code><a href="splat.html">splat</a></code>. </p> <h3>Value</h3> <p>list of results </p> <h3>Input</h3> <p>Call a multi-argument function with values taken from columns of an data frame or array </p> <h3>Output</h3> <p>If there are no results, then this function will return a list of length 0 (<code>list()</code>). </p> <h3>References</h3> <p>Hadley Wickham (2011).
