Running R2.4.0 on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8, in Emacs ESS mode, and also R.app. In an attempt to learn a bit more about a particular method (geneNames in package affy) I invoked getMethods("geneNames") which produced geneNames methods, but not the one in affy (output below). I had to know the signature (AffyBatch) in order to find the method > getMethod("geneNames",

What a delicious example! (I'm taking the liberty of sharing it with r-devel, since it raises some good issues.) You have two questions, presumably: 1 - how could the order of the setMethod calls make a difference in the results? 2 - what's causing the infinite loop & how could it be avoided, reliably? Second question first. The danger sign is the "vector" method:

Dear all, I'm getting more and more frustrated with the whole S4 thing and I'm looking for a more advanced summary on how to deal with them. Often I get error messages that don't make sense at all, or the code is not doing what I think it would do. Far too often inspecting the code requires me to go to the source, which doesn't really help in easily finding the bit of code

(I think this is being caused by the new methods package in RC.) In the RC (March 24) some of my packages are generating a Note Note: Method with signature "MySQLConnection#integer" chosen for function "coerce", target signature "TSMySQLConnection#integer". "dbObjectId#integer" would also be valid This is coming from a call to dbGetQuery() in package

Dear R developers, I am having a slightly weird issue with a S4 method defined in my package adegenet 1.2-4, with R 2.11.0. As far as I know, the problem is new, and the code implementing the method has not changed for more than a year and worked well so far. The problem is the following. I define, in the package, a method "[" for the S4 class 'genind'. The method's

Hi, we have some questions concerning the definition of new arithmetic methods. In our package "distr" (on CRAN) we define some new arithmetic methods for "+", "-", "*", "/". After loading "distr" the corresponding arithmetic methods work. Now, if we define a new class and also a new method for one of the arithmetic methods

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Dear R Gurus: How do you get source for functions which say "UseMethod" when you type in their names, please? I've tried getAnywhere and getMethods...I thought that might produce them. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Edna

Hi, How do I retrieve the var.test() function code? I had a similar problem once before with another function but getMethods() solved the problem then. Now I tried several combinations for var.test() without success.

Dear R People: In the function "decompose", the object has the class of "decomposed.ts". (from package stats) I would like to see the class definition and the method for the plotting. However, when I use isClass("decomposed.ts") I get "FALSE". When I check getMethods("plot") there is no method for plot on decomposed.ts Any suggestions,

Hi, I've been using the package "graph" in the BioConductor assortment and writing some functions based on its classes. My question is not specific to this package or BioConductor (I think), but it serves as a useful example. I recently wanted to look at the code for the function "edgeMatrix" for the class "graphNEL". Usually I would type > func.foo and

Hi, I'm developing in S4 and I wanted to see the methods for a specific class using showMethods but I didn't succed. Can someone help ? See the example below. setClass("myclass", representation( name ="character" ) ) setGeneric("mymeth", function(obj, ...){ standardGeneric("mymeth") } ) setMethod("mymeth",

showMethods isn't reporting inherited methods when it is first called. The methods are there and after calling them, showMethods gives the right output. Here is an example (using R-devel r39647): setClass("A", representation(x="numeric"), prototype=list(x=1)) setClass("B", contains="A", prototype=list(x=2))

I want to get access to the code of an S4 method in order to possibly modify a function to accomplish my particular needs: in my case the function in is cenfit() from the package NADA Now, given my reproducible example: my.ex<-structure(list(TEC = c(0.21, 0.077, 0.06, 0.033, 0.014, 0.0072), LR = c(0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 1L, 0L)), .Names = c("TEC", "LR"), class =

Full_Name: Colin A. Smith Version: 1.8.0 OS: Mac OS X 10.2.6 Submission from: (NULL) (216.102.90.18) Both Biobase and my package annaffy use S4 classes to define methods for "[". Both packages use the save image method of installation. (See annaffy 1.0.3 in BioC CVS.) Depending on how both packages are loaded, the Biobase definitions seem to be getting masked out: >
