Computes the exponentials in the server-side

Computes the exponential values for a specified numeric vector. This function is similar to R function exp.

ds.exp(x = NULL, newobj = NULL, datasources = NULL)

Arguments

x

a character string providing the name of a numerical vector.

newobj

a character string that provides the name for the output variable that is stored on the data servers. Default exp.newobj.

datasources

a list of DSConnection-class objects obtained after login. If the datasources argument is not specified the default set of connections will be used: see datashield.connections_default.

Value

ds.exp returns a vector for each study of the exponential values for the numeric vector specified in the argument x. The created vectors are stored in the server-side.

Details

Server function called: exp.
