Examples

p <- as.mvp("1+a^2 + a*b^2 + c")
p
#> mvp object algebraically equal to
#> 1 + a b^2 + a^2 + c
f <- as.function(p)
f
#> function (...) 
#> {
#>     subs(x, ...)

f(a=1)
#> mvp object algebraically equal to
#> 2 + b^2 + c
f(a=1,b=2)
#> mvp object algebraically equal to

f(a=1,b=2,c=3)             # coerces to a scalar
#> [1] 9
f(a=1,b=2,c=3,drop=FALSE)  # formal mvp object
#> mvp object algebraically equal to
