similar to: couldn't find function "setClass"

Dear list, this is not a problem report -- I would like to ask for advise what the recommended and safe way to perform the following is or what problems might arise in doing it differently. The question is: What is the recommended way of providing a default value in a prototype statement for a derived class for a slot provided from a parent class? I have first consulted the methods package

I would like to add a class to the SparseM package. I have a class "matrix.csr" that describes a matrix in compressed sparse row format, now I would like a class matrix.diag.csr that describes such objects when they happen to be diagonal. The idea is that matrix.diag.csr objects should behave (later in life) exactly like matrix.csr objects, the distinction is only needed in order to

Hello, Thomas Stabla (statho3@web.de) has already sent this question to R-help, Wed, 12 Nov 2003 21:21:31 +0100, but we are not sure whether we should better post this mail to this audience than to R-help: --------------------------------------------------------------------- We are using S4-classes and want to force a validity check when an object is created. How can this be done, when an

Hi, I recently ran into this problem. I couldn't find any mention of it in the setClass documentation. setClass("Foo", representation(file = "character")) setMethod("initialize", "Foo", function(.Object, file) { print(file) }) setClass("Bar", contains = "Foo") And the error: Error in print(file) : argument "file" is

I'm trying to create a package for working on orientation data, i.e. data where the observations are 3D rotations. There are several different representations of orientations in common use: SO(3) matrices, Euler angles, unit quaternions, etc. One thing I'd like is to make it convenient to work in any representation, and have conversions to others done as needed. I'm trying to do

Hi! Consider this code. setClass("Ctest" ,representation( test="character" ,bla="character" ,mod="lm" ) ) new("Ctest",test="bla") #This produces an error. #Error in validObject(.Object) : Invalid "Ctest" object: Invalid object for slot "mod" in class "Ctest": got class

Hi, I don't understand why this code doesn't work (f(b2)): ///////////////// setClass("B0", representation(b0 = "numeric")) setClass("B1", representation("B0", b1 = "character")) setClass("B2", representation("B1", b2 = "logical")) f <- function(x) class(x) setMethod("f", "B0",

I noticed this oddity about [ and setMethod. First, I define testFunc, which sorts a data frame by the first column and returns the entries that aren't NAs, and testIt, which runs testFunc repeatedly on a random large data frame, each time saving the return into a dummy placeholder (for demonstration's sake). > require(methods) Loading required package: methods [1] TRUE > testFunc

In the little orientation data package I'm working on, the very first example fails, even though the same code works when used in a regular session. In my experience, this usually indicates T or F has been used instead of TRUE or FALSE, but that's not the case this time. The error message is > x <- eulerzyx(1,0,0) Error: Trying to get slot "validity" from an object of

Hello ... I've noticed that some of our Bioconductor code was running drastically slower under current R-devel vs. current R-patched - one example is below using a ttest. I have the following snippet of code that demonstrates the problem while avoiding "real" code that takes an extremely long time to finish on R-devel: library(genefilter) data(eset) eset$cov1 z <-

Hi, The following question might come from my (deep) misunderstanding of the concepts in the package 'methods'. I have a class 'A', and a class 'B' inheriting 'A' (so defined with 'setClass' and the parameter 'contains="A"'. The class A has a method 'mymethod'. A call to 'showMethods("mymethod")' return the

Hello, I have a question concerning "setClassUnion". I'm working with R 2.0.0 Patched (2004-10-06) on windows 2000. I tried to use "setClassUnion" in a package I am currently working on. The situation is similar to the following example: The DESCRIPTION file has entries: Depends: R (>= 2.0.0), methods Imports: methods LazyLoad: yes The NAMESPACE file has

Is this the expected and/or correct behaviour? And if so, how do I persuade new to interpret a named but missing argument as missing? ------------- setClass("testMissing",representation(a="numeric"),prototype=list(a=0)); showMissing <- function(real.arg,missing.arg) { really.missing <- new("testMissing"); show(really.missing); really.there <-

Hello R developers, installing R 2.0.0 from source on a Linux Debian system (gcc 3.2.2) - which worked just fine - I encountered the following problem when trying to update/install packages with the option --with-package-versions: example: RUnit 0.4.0 (also on CRAN) R20 CMD INSTALL -l /mnt/local/R/R-2.0.x-libs-EpiR --with-package-versions RUnit_0.4.0.tar.gz or after untaring R20 CMD INSTALL

Hi, I have quite some trouble with the package methods. "Environments" in R are a convenient way to emulate pointers (and avoid copies of large objects, or of large collections of objects). So far, so good, but the package methods is becoming more (and more) problematic to work with. Up to version R-1.7.0, slots that were environments were still references to an environment, but I

Hi, the following example aiming at a class containing a logical slot segfaults under R-1.9.0 when `gctorture(on = TRUE)' is used: Code code (dummy.c): #include <Rdefines.h> SEXP foo() { SEXP ans; PROTECT(ans = NEW_OBJECT(MAKE_CLASS("test"))); SET_SLOT(ans, install("lgl"), allocVector(LGLSXP, 1)); LOGICAL(GET_SLOT(ans,

Hello! as(object,"list") and as(object,"matrix") behave quite differently if it comes to their attributes. I define two classes. One of them "contains" a "list" the other a "matrix" setClass("myclass" ,representation(info="character") ,contains="matrix" ) setClass("mylist"
