similar to: S4 assignment \alias and \usage

I am trying to understand the missing vs default value for an argument to an S4 method. (I'm not sure if this is a bug or my confusion.) In S3 I can specify a default value for an argument and then both check if the argument was missing in the call, and use it because it takes on the default value. I do not seem to be able to do that in S4 as shown by this simplified example:

I'm in the process of converting some S3 methods to S4 methods. I have this function : setGeneric("enrichmentCalc", function(rs, organism, seqLen, ...){standardGeneric("enrichmentCalc")}) setMethod("enrichmentCalc", c("GenomeDataList", "BSgenome"), function(rs, organism, seqLen, ...) { ... ... ... })

Hello, I am using R 2.11.0. I have a curious problem where I get a warning in R CMD check which is seemingly not relevant to my Rd file. The warning says : * checking Rd \usage sections ... WARNING Bad \usage lines found in documentation object 'enrichmentCalc': <unescaped bksl>S4method{enrichmentCalc}{GenomeDataList, BSgenome}(rs, organism, seqLen=NULL, ...) <unescaped

Something has changed in the S4 default for coercing. Am I now suppose to use setAs, or is there something else I should do to make this work: R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) .... > require("methods") > setClassUnion("OptionalPOSIXct", c("POSIXct", "NULL")) [1] "OptionalPOSIXct" > setClass("TSmetax",

Given S4 methods [ and [<-, how do I write the Rd-file usage clause for the latter one? What I have now is: \S4method{[}{TimeSeries,TimeDate,missing}(x, i, j, ..., drop) \S4method{[<-}{TimeSeries,TimeDate,missing,ANY}(x, i, j, ..., value) which results in the following output: ## S4 method for signature 'TimeSeries, TimeDate, missing': x[i, j, ..., drop]

Hi, Say we want to supply a generic plot() in a package with a simple class, like this: ---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->--- setClass("track", representation=representation(x="numeric", y="numeric")) if (!isGeneric("plot")) { setGeneric("plot", function(x, y, ...)

I've been trying to build a bundle with the R-devel snapshot from yesterday. (Yes I know it is unstable and just tell me if I shouldn't be trying to do this yet.) It is failing with the message tar : /dev/rmt/0 : Permission denied It happens after "removing junk files" and just after the message "building dse_2000.9-1.tar.gz" It looks to be coming from the line in

Hi, I just figured out that I accidentally posted my message in HTML, so I am retrying in plain text only. Sorry. I am currently extending one of our CRAN packages and ran into an unexpected problem when checking the source package. I got some warnings in the step "* checking for code/documentation mismatches". I double checked everything and did not see anything that would

Dear list members, I have defined a binary operator %append% with methods for some S4 classes. In my documentation file, I want to list the methods explicitly by using e.g.: \S4method{\%append\%}{RecLinkData,RecLinkData}(x, y) In the HTML documentation this comes out right as ## S4 method for signature 'RecLinkResult,RecLinkResult' x %append% y , but R CMD check

I had a couple of problems getting R 0.90.0. In case anyone has similar problems, I though I would mention them. 1/ I can't use "ftp cvs.r-project.org" from either home or work. The ftp service does not seem to be available. Perhaps this is intended. I only discovered it because I thought the file I got through Netscape might be corrupted. (I don't understand why Netscape

I've noticed that the arguments and result list of prcomp in the mva package (with 61.1) are not quite the same as in the Blue Book and in Splus. Is this intentional or can I change it?

Dear developers, We want to use "\S4method" to document new S4-methods for "[" and "[<-". We use this for other functions/methods and it works without any problem, but in case of "[" and "[<-" we didn't manage to bring this to work. The problem occurs in the development version of our package "distrSim" which can be found

Hi, this is perhaps not so much an issue, but as you are currently working on the Rd parser anyway... When you want to document specific S4 methods for an S4 generic by \S4method{} within a \usage{} environment, and the second (signature_list) argument is "long", be it because you use multiple dispatch, be it because you use long class-names, (or both), one would probably like to be

One of the functions I would like to clean out of my syskern package is a program to send mail. This is a common feature other programs (e.g. bug.report) may use so I would like it to be included in R/base. I will volunteer to do this as it looks like a fairly straightforward dissection of bug.report but I have some questions: Has anyone done this already? Is "mail" a good name or

I have a generic function test.equal <- function(obj1, obj2, ...) UseMethod("test.equal") however, the only argument that specific methods use is "fuzz" so I would like to change this to test.equal <- function(obj1, obj2, fuzz=???) UseMethod("test.equal") The problem is that some methods use slightly different default values for fuzz than others. How should

I was hoping fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: pow_ii: referenced in .../dsefor.so would disappear in R 0.6x, but it has not. I believe this is suppose to come from the f2c lib, but I seem to need just a couple of routines: nm -u dsefor.so Undefined symbols from dsefor.so: .umul pow_dd pow_ii pow_ri For my own purposes I could compile with fortran but that makes it much
