[R] Counterpart for Matlab's 'feval'?

[Robin Hankin]

Hello Fredrik

do.call()  constructs and executes a function call from the name of
      the function and a list of arguments to be passed to it.

R's equivalent to fminsearch is optim() and that of fmin is optimize()


HTH

[neither of these are in R-and-octave2.txt, which I really really ought  
to update]
