gadget.iterative not working with Windows #106

Closed mingsun closed 4 years ago

The function "gadget.iterative" does not work on windows as forking in mclapply is not supported by windows.

I am wondering is there any way to modify or bypass this but still achieving the same purpose on windows?

Well, there are two ways of achieving this atm. The simplest, but slowest would be to run gadget.iterative in serial mode by setting the run.serial=TRUE. You could also try to implement what is suggested here https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.r-bloggers.com/parallelsugar-an-implementation-of-mclapply-for-windows/amp/ but note that this approach will sacrifice one core from your computer.
