dmapply: A functional primitive to express distributed machine learning algorithms in R
Summary: ddR introduces dmapply, a unified R primitive for computation over distributed data, spanning broadcast, pairwise, and MapReduce-style patterns. Its backend-neutral API expresses statistical-query ML algorithms portably across Spark, SNOW, and other systems with near-native performance. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
