similar to: class unions?

please see the code below. foo2 fails to dispatch correctly, but foo does fine. i have tried 'cacheMetaData(1)' and a number of different variants of 'cacheGenericsMetaData', on the possibility there is a caching issue. but i still can't sort it out. also one general question: does it really matter what's in the body of the function definition in a

the following returns an error in an 'exists' call on my machine MyEnv <- new.env() setClass("Numeric", "numeric", where=MyEnv) franklin parlamis > version _ platform powerpc-apple-darwin8.7.0 arch powerpc os darwin8.7.0 system powerpc, darwin8.7.0 status beta major 2 minor 4.0 year

i think these two code snippets exhibit a bug. they are identical but for the inclusion of an initial line in snippet [2] [1] setMethod("Math", signature(x = "numeric"), function(x) "Works") getGeneric("sqrt")(4) [2] getGeneric("sqrt")(4) setMethod("Math", signature(x = "numeric"), function(x) "Works")

self-sanity check prior to filing a bug report: attempted replacement that generates an error leaves a '*tmp*' variable in the global environment. test <- 1:10 test[2:4] <- expression(e) ls() i've read section 3.4.4 of the "R Language Definition" which discusses the mechanism for replacement, and it is not clear to me whether this was intended, but i suspect

Hi I used write() the other day to save some results. It seems that write() does not record the full precision of the objects being written: > write(pi,file="~/f",ncolumns=1) > pi.saved <- scan("~/f") Read 1 item > dput(pi) 3.14159265358979 > dput(pi.saved) 3.141593 > pi-pi.saved [1] -3.464102e-07 > This difficulty was particularly difficult to

Dear list: I am looking for a good way to create an S4 class that would extend numeric, but would allow NULL instead of data as well. As far as I can see there is no way at the moment to do that, but please correct me if I am wrong. The best solution I came up with so far was the following (it also indicates a problem of using setClassUnion with numeric as one of the classes): I define a class

I am having some trouble creating a hierarchy of virtual classes (akin to the class structure in the 'Matrix' package). I think they arise from my not understanding the best way to specify virtual subclasses of a virtual class. please see questions below code. setClass("mom") setClass("kid1", representation("mom", "VIRTUAL"))

Hello. This question concerns the Methods package. I have created a new class and am trying to set a method for it for S4 group generic "Summary". I have run into some signature problems. An example: > setClass("track", representation(x="numeric", y="character")) [1] "track" > setGeneric("max", group="Summary")

Hi all, I came across an issue in using the Matrix package which made it that I could only subset Matrices using the numeric class, but could not using integers. Steps to reproduce the problem: library(Matrix) # this class has *nothing* to do with Matrix setClass("MyClass", representation(myvalue = "numeric"), prototype(myvalue = NA_real_)) # this class also has

Hi, Short story ----------- setClassUnion("ArrayLike", "array") showClass("ArrayLike") # no slot setClass("MyArrayLikeConcreteSubclass", contains="ArrayLike", representation(stuff="ANY") ) showClass("MyArrayLikeConcreteSubclass") # 2 slots!! That doesn't seem right. Long story ----------

I am trying to create a class union of class unions to facilitate method dispatch. When I execute code in the global environment, everything acts as expected, however when I put the same code in the context of a package, selectMethod can no longer find the correct method. This first block below puts the code in the context of a package: fn <- "codefile.R" writeLines( c(

As far as I can tell, there's no trivial way to set arbitrary S4 slots to NULL. Most of the online examples I can find, use setClassUnion and are about 10 years old. Which, in my opinion, is defective. There's nothing "robust" about making something that should be trivially simple, really complicated. Maybe there is a simpler way, and I just haven't worked it out, yet. But

Dear John and Seth, dear R-devels, once again the question of method dispatch in S4 -- this time with setClassUnion(); taking up your advice in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-April/037200.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-April/037201.html I have been too quick in stating that >setClassUnion()---at least in my case---solves the problem; > The problem arises

Thanks, I'll look into it.

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
