similar to: is() and S3 classes

Hi, The unary forms of is() and extends() report that data.frame extends list, oldClass, and vector: > is(data.frame()) [1] "data.frame" "list" "oldClass" "vector" > extends("data.frame") [1] "data.frame" "list" "oldClass" "vector" However, the binary form of is()

So if "list" is a super-class of "data.frame" (as

Hello, am I using 'setIs' in the correct way in the subsequent (artifical) example? Do I have to specify explicit 'setAs' for 'list' and 'vector' or should this work automatically, since "getClass("List1")" states an explicit coerce also for these classes. I'm working with R 2.0.0 Patched (2004-10-06) on windows 2000. Thanks for your

Yes, data.frame is not an S4 class but is(data.frame()) finds its super-classes anyway and without the need to wrap it in asS4(). And "list' is one of the super-classes. Then is(data.frame(), "list") contradicts this. I'm not asking for a workaround. I already have one with 'class2 %in% is(object)' as reported in my original post. 'is(asS4(object), class2)'

Dear R Programmers! After some time of using R I decided to work through John Chambers book "Programming with Data" to learn what these S4 classes are all about and how they work in R. (I regret not having picked up this rather fine book earlier!) I know from the documentation and the mailing archives that S4 in R is not 100% the book and that there are issues especially with

Hi, I'm working with Version 1.9.0 (2004-04-12) on Windows 98/NT/2000 where I found the following wrong (?) behavior of setValidity(). I already mentioned this on the R-help list (2004-06-11, was "setValidity changes Extends?") , but as I got no answer I tried to figure out what's happening. Well, setValidity() behaves not as I would expect (something about the

Hi Herve, I think you are confusing subclasses and classes. There is no contradiction. `is` documentation is very clear: `With one argument, returns all the super-classes of this object's class.` Note that object class is always `data.frame` here, check: > class(data.frame()) [1] "data.frame" > is(data.frame(), "data.frame") [1] TRUE Best, Mehmet On 29 Nov

I'm sure that many people are in the same position as me in that they are trying to write packages and code that is vaguely "future proof". Would it be possible to get some guidance on how the R-core team see the evolution of the "base" package with regard to s4 methods. There seem to be quite a lot of inconsistencies between s3 and s4 methods and classes currently and

Hi Herve, Interesting observation with `setClass` but it is for S4. It looks like `data.frame()` is not an S4 class. > isS4(data.frame()) [1] FALSE And in your case this might help: > is(asS4(data.frame()), "list") [1] TRUE Looks like `is` is designed for S4 classes, I am not entirely sure.

Dear Martin, What's the ETA for _R_CLASS_MATRIX_ARRAY_=TRUE to become the new unconditional behavior in R devel? Thanks! H.

Hi, I'm trying to understand R's object oriented abilities. I have read (in a very recent email to r-help) that R's methods package does not support private methods. However, I also looked at the source for the function "is": > is function (object, class2) { cl <- .class1(object) if (missing(class2)) return(extends(cl)) if (.identC(cl, class2)

Hello, I am the maintainer of the stringkernels package and have come across a problem with using S3 objects in my S4 classes. Specifically, I have an S4 class with a slot that takes a text corpus as a list of character vectors. tm (version 0.5) saves corpora as lists with a class attribute of c("VCorpus", "Corpus", "list"). I don't actually need the

I have two objects that are associated in the following way: class Class1 < ApplicationController has_and_belongs_to_many :class2s has_and_belongs_to_many :otherClasses end class Class2 < ApplicationController has_and_belongs_to_many :class1s has_and_bleongs_to_many :otherClasses end Now, when I run the following query, @objects = Class1.find(:all, :conditions

Hi,When I read the source of str,i find these code ----- ## Show further classes // Assume that they do NOT have an own Method -- ## not quite perfect ! (.Class = 'remaining classes', starting with current) cl <- oldClass(object); cl <- cl[cl != "data.frame"] #- not THIS class ----- so I use ?oldClass to try to learn more about oldClass.But after I have reading

Dear R-users!

Hi, Let''s say: class Class2 << ActiveRecord belongs_to: class1 end class Class1 << ActiveRecord has_many :class2s def get_max_class2 ?how to get the max of class2 list ? end end I would like to know how I have to write the get_max_class2 method in order to have the max value of the class2 list ? I would like to call this method this way: class2_max

Hi, To be able to match cases with a benchmark I need to have a data.frame with a character id variable. however, I am surprised why this seems to be so hard. In fact I was unable to succeed. Here is what I tried: >test1 <-expand.grid(ID = 1:2, sex = c("male","female")) >is(test1[,2]) [1] "factor" "oldClass" >test2 <-expand.grid(ID =
