Hello,
2L is an integer, 2 might be or not. In the case of apply(), there is no
difference.
All possible values for margin? Any possible(*) combination of the
dimensions of 'x' in
apply(x, margin, function)
(*) non-null. If, say, x <- array(0, dim=c(2,3,4)) (3dim) then you can
call any of
apply(x, 1, fun) or apply(x, 2, fun) or apply(x, 3, fun) but not margin=4;
apply(x, 1:2, fun) or apply(x, c(1, 3), fun) or ...
apply(x, 1:3, fun)
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

What is the difference of using 2L versus 2 as the margin argument in the
apply() function? Where can I find detailed information on all of the
possible margin arguments?
x
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 1 2
[2,] 3 4
[3,] 5 6
[4,] 7 8
[5,] 9 10
sqrt(apply(x, *2L*, function(r.st) var(r.st[!is.na(r.st)])))
[1] 3.162278 3.162278
sqrt(apply(x,* 2*, function(r.st) var(r.st[!is.na(r.st)])))
[1] 3.162278 3.162278
