Create a new BDMethodList object

Initializes a new SimpleList of BenchDesign method (BDMethod) objects.

Similar to BDMethod objects, BDMethodList typically do not need to be directly constructed. Because the list of methods is only useful as art of a BenchDesign object, it is more common to simply manipulate the list of methods through calls to the corresponding BenchDesign, e.g. addMethod to add a new method to the list.

The constructor can also be used to access the BDMethodList list of methods in a BenchDesign object.

BDMethodList(..., x = NULL)

# S4 method for ANY
BDMethodList(..., x = NULL)

# S4 method for BenchDesign
BDMethodList(..., x = NULL)

# S4 method for SummarizedBenchmark
BDMethodList(..., x = NULL)

Arguments

...	a named list of BDMethod objects
x	a BenchDesign or SummarizedBenchmark object to extract the list of methods from. (default = NULL)

Value

BDMethodList object

Examples

## construct an empty list
bdml <- BDMethodList()

## construct a list with BDMethod objects
bdml <- BDMethodList(m_method = BDMethod(base::mean),
                     s_method = BDMethod(function(x) { x^2 }))
bdml
#> BenchDesign Method List (BDMethodList) --------------------- 
#> list of 2 methods 
#>   method:  m_method; func: base::mean           
#>   method:  s_method; func: function(x) {;   ... 

## construct a BenchDesign with a BDMethodList
bd <- BenchDesign(methods = bdml)

## access the BDMethodList in the BenchDesign
BDMethodList(bd)
#> BenchDesign Method List (BDMethodList) --------------------- 
#> list of 2 methods 
#>   method:  m_method; func: base::mean
