In R, we currently have the functions
anovalist.lm
and anova.glmlist
S / S-plus has
anova.lmlist
anova.glmlist
On the other hand, the [n]lme package (library) of Doug Bates and Jose
Pinheiro has an "lmList" class and an anova.lmList(.) method for
that.
We are considering to use
anovalist.lm
and anovalist.glm
instead of the S/S-plus names mentioned above.
These functions are probably never called from top-level by a user
(they *are* called by anova.lm(.) & anova.glm()).
Doug Bates says
DB> The name anovalist.lm makes sense in that the method dispatch is on
DB> only the first object which has a class of "lm" or
"glm" or ... If
DB> there was an anovalist generic it would be even more consistent. The
DB> name anova.lmlist looks like the name of a method but I don't think
it
DB> is treated that way.
Your opinions?
Do you know of S- or R- code (outside or "R base") which
call anova.[g]lmlist directly ?
