similar to: Rd \usage clause for an S4 replace method

Hello everybody, it looks like the presense of some (do know know which) S4 methods for a given S4 class degrades the performance of xtfrm (used in 'order' in new R-devel) by a factor of millions. This is for classes that ARE derived from numeric directly and thus should be quite trivial to convert to numeric. Consider the following example: setClass("TimeDateBase",

Dear List: Sorry for posting maybe a trivial question, but I have a basic understanding problem. If I have say pack1 and pack2, two R packages, and pack2 depends on and imports pack1 fully (as in the code below), is there a way to make all the functionality of pack1 available for the global and other environments (not only for the functions called from withing pack2) by loading pack2 only? I

Hi, I do not know if everybody finds index pages of the html-formatted R help useful, but I know I am at least not the only one who uses them extensively to get the overview of functions and methods in a package (even for my own package). Problems arise, however, if a lot of S4 methods need to be documented blowing out the index with (generally irrelevant) entries like:

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

When I import the library timeSeries I get (at least) the variable USDCHF imported too. I would like to delete it, but I cannot. As you can see below. Clearly I am doing something wrong. What is it? > library(timeSeries) Loading required package: timeDate > class(USDCHF) [1] "timeSeries" attr(,"package") [1] "timeSeries" > rm(list=c("USDCHF"))

Hi, I am trying to define the as.POSIXct as an S4 method for one of my classes. Trying to define a generic, I am getting an error that it is already differently defined in base. However, if I query for it, there is no definition. Being in base, I also cannot really import it. If I define methods without definig a generic, they will work but with a warning that a new generic will be automatically

Hello, I must be doing something wrong that's very obvious. But I just don't see it. I changed my Windows Time Zone to GMT and my Financial Center to Montreal. But I still get several warnings. >Sys.timezone() [1] "GMT Daylight Time" >myFinCenter [1] "Montreal" >Sys.timeDate() [1] "Montreal" [1] [2005-04-19 10:55:02] Warning messages: 1: Set

Hi all: since about a month we encountered a problem with R -e command: spaces in the "command" of R -e "command" are no more tolerated. This same issue affects 2.11 patched (05-05-2010), 2.10.1, and current devel (at least the one of two weeks ago). (I skip the mid of the printouts, replaced with ...) * R -e "message('aaa aaa')" ARGUMENT

Dear list: I would like to override the default way R formats plot axes with a custom method(s). Obviously I would prefer to define it as general as possible avoiding writing a custom method for each individual class where possible. The plot.default method (and I assume other methods as well) calls Axis(...) to produce the axis layout depending on data. In this sense it seems reasonable to

typo as simple as %S instead of %s segfaults R devel: *** R 2.9.0 (svn -r 47821) [/share/research/R-devel/20090203/lib64/R] *** > sprintf("%S%d", "aaa", 1) *** caught segfault *** address 0x8000, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: sprintf("%S%d", "aaa", 1) Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit

Hi, I didn't find any post on this subject so I ll ask you some advices. Let's say that I have two library trees. Number 1 is the default R library tree on path1 Number 2 is another library tree on a server with all packages on path2. When I set library(aaMI,lib.loc=paths2) it loads the package even if its not on default R library When I set library(fOptions,lib.loc=paths2) it

Yes. That's the version I've been discussing that has non-zero exit status. That situation is why CRAN retired the prob package. It's possible you installed that library earlier in development and it's been "carried" along. It no longer installs, now. The problems with all of this seem to have started this month according to the conversations. However, no one has

The issue is fAsianOptions. Is there a version that works with the latest version of R? If not, which version of it works with which version of R and where can it be found? I tried several at the archive already. Alternatively, is there another package that behaves similarly to prob?

Dear list: working with date/times I have come across a problem that ISOdate and ISOdatetime are too slow on large vectors of data. I was surprised just until I looked at the implementation and the man page: "ISOdatetime and ISOdate are convenience wrappers for strptime". In other terms, they convert data to character representation first in order to create a POSIXlt object that is then

The behaviour of the plot function when used with xlim/ylim and the matplot function as in the following simple example changed between R2.6.1 and 2.7.0+ producing ugly plots in the new versions. In case of plot it looks like the pretty function is called with wrong arguments (i.e. range of supplied data rather than values of xlim and ylim): m = matrix(c(-0.033, 0.009, 0.064, 0.050, 0.097,

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
