[R] Passing values to a function when using apply

[Erik Iverson]

This is not a reproducible example. You might simply want:

apply(veh_drg_animal1[, c("readCount", "gene_length")], 1, stats, arg2, 
arg3)

But your "two parameters" from the data.frame are really going to be 
passed as one vector, and then within the stats function you can access 
them individually.  I'm guessing you really want a 2-parameter stats 
function call, but it's hard to tell without a real example.
