similar to: "for" loop wiht S4 Objects

Hi all; Is it possible to modify the "@" operator that it can handle references (or external pointers) of S4 Object instead of the real Objects? Or is there any technical or compatibility issue which make it impossible? I look forward to hear from you and also hope that you don't hate me for my nooby question. Yours sincerely, Rudolf Biczok [[alternative

Hi everybody! I'm creating an object of a S4 class that has two slots: ListExamples, which is a list, and idx, which is an integer (as the code below). Then, I read a data.frame file with 10000 (ten thousands) of lines and 10 columns, do some pre-processing and, basically, I store each line as an element of a list in the slot ListExamples of the S4 object. However, many operations after this

I looked through the documentation and the mailing lists and could not find an answer to this. My apologies if it has already been answered. If it has, a pointer to the relevant discussion would be greatly appreciated. Creating S4 classes containing environments exhibits unexpected behavior/features.? These have a different in two ways: 1) slotName for the data: ".xData" instead of

Hello, an S4 class "Foo" is defined with a setter, $. For several reasons, the setter calls a function, .foo.update(). However, bypassing the argument names of the setter does not work. Question 1: Why not and how can I fix this? Question 2: What is the way to define either the function or the setter to modify the original object (not returning the modified copy of it an overwrite the

Hi the list, With basic type, length gives the length of the vector Wtih list, length gives the number of item With S4 object, length gives...one. Even with an objet with empty slot. setClass("E",representation(e="numeric")) [1] "E" length(new("E")) [1] 1 setClass("E",representation(e="matrix")) [1] "E"

Dear Developers, In current implementation of validity method, objects are first coerced to superclass (slots are striped). Thus, it is not possible to write validity method which would perform some checks on children slots. Say, I want to check if number of slots in a class is equal to "n": setClass("A", representation(a="numeric", n="integer"),

Hey everyone, I would like to develop a package using S4 classes. I have to define several S4 classes that inherits from each others as follow: # A <- B <- C <- D I also would like to define .DollarNames methods for these class so, if I have understood well, I also have to define an old class as follow: # AOld <- A <- B <- C <- D setOldClass(Classes = "AOld")

Inspired by Rudolf Biczok's query of Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 1:25 AM, I tried to implement iteration in a generic way using S4. (Though I am admittedly still struggling with learning S4.) > setClass("foo",representation(bar="list")) [1] "foo" > x<-new("foo",bar=list(1,2,3)) Given this, I would not expect for(i in x)... to work, since R has no way

Hi, I created a class (S4) with some slots like value, date, description (it's actually a financial transaction class). Now I need a method to convert this class forth and back into a single row data.frame, where every slots represents a column. This method looks at the moment like this: > setMethod("as.data.frame", "Transaction", function(x, row.names =

When passing a list as an argument to a function, I find it convenient to attach it in the first line of th function code, then refer to the components as A, B, etc. rather than as list$A, list$B, etc. If I pass a S4 class object, is there a way to "attach" it, or do I have to refer to the slots as object at A, objetc at B, etc.? I could always make copies, A <- object at A

I have been retooling an S4 class definition to include another slot and have found that the methods::validObject function (defined in methods/R/SClasses.R) in R-devel throws an error that isn't caught internally (and thus not controllable by 'test' argument) when retrieving a non-existent slot. The offending line of code is shown below: > validObject function (object, test =

Hi the list, I define a class 'C' that inherit from two classes 'A' and 'B'. 'A' and 'B' have no slot with similar names. ---------------- setClass( Class="C", contains=c("A","B") ) To define the get operator '[' for class "C", I simply use the get of "A" or "B" (the constante

Dear R users! Several languages like C# or VB allow one to create properties; typically these are under 'get', 'set' tags. My question is this really, what are similar or comparable strategies in R, and what might be preferred? I have a couple of situations where I want a certain computation to belong to a class, but I do not really want to seperate it out to a stand-alone

I want to loop through slots of an S4 object and am unsure how to do so since the only way I can find to access them is individually in the form 'object@slotName'. I have guessed at a few possibilities which did not work and I have read some S4 object tutorials and things but still unsuccessful. I presume it is possible though? Any help would be much appreciated, Scott [[alternative

Hi, It's nice to be able to define S4 classes with slots that correspond to standard attributes: setClass("A1", slots=c(names="character")) setClass("A2", slots=c(dim="integer")) setClass("A3", slots=c(dimnames="list")) By doing this, one gets a few methods for free: a1 <- new("A1", names=letters[1:3])

Dear r-help list members, Is there a way to test whether an object is an S4 object? The best that I've been able to come up with is isS4object <- function(object) !(is.null(slotNames(object))) which assumes that an S4 object has at least one slot. I think this is safe, but perhaps I'm missing something. Thanks, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of

I've fixed this and will commit soon. Disregard my dim<-() example; that behaves as expected (the class needs a dim<-() method).

Hi All, I have tried to find an answer within documentation, but I cannot: o How can call a class "slot" without knowing the name a priori? E.g., let's say I use the "pcaMethods" library to create a "pcaRes" object. How can I call parts of that object without using the specific names of the object in the call? example code: library(pcaMethods)

Using slot() on object (or "@") and using a nonexistent slotname returns an error (see example code). R> setClass("foobar", representation=list(a="numeric")) [1] "foobar" R> foobar <- new("foobar", a=5) R> foobar at a [1] 5 R> foobar at b Error: no slot of name "b" for this object of class "foobar" The details
