多变量XTS作为参数适用于lapply但不适用于mclapply

我有一个与lapply一起使用的函数,但如果我使用mclapply进行尝试,则会返回错误。函数的参数是多变量XTS。这是一个示例:

library(quantmod)
library(doMC)
registerDoMC(4)

test <- function(x){
  return(mean(x))
}

myEnv <- new.env()
getSymbols(c("^GSPC", "^RUT"), env=myEnv)
data <- do.call(merge, c(eapply(myEnv, Ad), all=TRUE))

lapply(data, test)
mclapply(data, test)

lapply按预期返回结果,但mclapply返回:

Error in `[.xts`(X, seq(i, length(X), by = cores)) : 
  subscript out of bounds

有人可以帮助我吗?感谢。

从某种意义上说,

xts对象很有趣:

length(data)
# [1] 3010
data[3010]
# Error in `[.xts`(data, 3010) : subscript out of bounds

而且,mclapply不喜欢......

你会发现mclapply(as.list(data), test)会起作用,尽管文档说:

  

X:向量(原子或列表)或表达式向量。其他对象(包括被分类的对象)将由as.list强制执行。

去图......作者可能值得一提。
