Abstract
Most functions require specific kinds of arguments, which must be input into the function correctly. For example, if a function calls for a matrix and a data.frame is input, the function will return an error. Since external tables are often read into the R workspace as data.frames, using a data.frame for a matrix is quite a common error. This chapter covers calling a function, using arguments, and accessing output.
