Dear all,
how can I check the source code for a hidden function like cor.test()?
At the moment I get ...
> cor.test
function (x, ...)
UseMethod("cor.test")
<environment: namespace:stats>
Thanks in advance,
Will

What UseMethod() does depends on the class of x, so you want to look at the cor.test.<class> function as well, for the particular class. Often those methods *are* hidden, so you may need something like getAnywhere(cor.test.default) to see one. Duncan Murdoch
Hi Will,
You can inspect S3 methods like this:
methods("cor.test")
getS3method("cor.test", "default")
getS3method("cor.test", "formula")
Best,
