Everyone, I've got code in my package that uses LogitBoost from the caTools package. caTools does not have a namespace. My package also uses loads RWeka, which has a namespace, and also has a function called LogitBoost. After loading both packages, how can I be specific about running the version from caTools (since caTools:::LogitBoost won't work)? Thanks, Max

Best would be to convince caTools to add a NAMESPACE. But as a workaround: library(caTools) caToolsEnv <- as.environment("package:caTools") LogitBoost <- caToolsEnv$LogitBoost Note that there is no guarantee that LogitBoost will actually work. Because caTools doesn't have a NAMESPACE, there is a risk of other name clashes causing LogitBoost to behave unpredictably. Duncan Murdoch
Try this also:
LogitBoost <- get("LogitBoost", envir
as.environment("package:caTools"), mode = "function")
