similar to: Some extensions to class inheritance and method selection

A recently committed revison of R-devel (47740) has introduced a new mechanism for ordering superclasses consistently, with related changes for selecting inherited methods. As part of the process, a function testInheritedMethods has been introduced that examines method selection for the relevant subclasses and reports ambiguities. Maintainers of packages that have methods involving multiple

I'd like to have a class A that computes a likelihood, and a subclass B that computes the same likelihood by sometimes throws in an additional term (B includes measurement error). So B's likelihood needs to call A's, and then (sometimes) multiply by an additional term. It sounds as if, in the S3 scheme, NextMethod is supposed to do this: like.A <- function(stuff) compute value

Hello Everyone, I am working on a control collection for javascript/Ajax.Net. I am stuck on the class inheritance aspects of the prototype library. If someone could point me to an example it would be a great help. I have looked through the controls.js of the scriptaculous library and found something like the below code, but everytime I ran it I would get a constructor error. Thanks for any help;

Hi, I have a S3 package with namespace called "myS3Pkg". Inside my package I would like to create a S4 class which extends (adds 2 slots) another S4 class from some other package. The class should be created in "myPkg" environment (and not global environment). Using: setClass("myS4class", representation("otherS4class", mydata = "numeric"),

Hi, I'm trying to create a new S4 class (myMatrix) which for now just extends dgCMatrix (from package Matrix). Then I want to use "[" which is defined in Matrix. Out of the box with "[" (defined in Matrix) I lose the class information and the result is an object of class dgCMatrix. If I specify a "["-method for myMatrix, it is not used because a signature

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")

Dear R developers, Motivated by discussion about checking inheritance of S3 and S4 objects (in head matrix/array topic) I would light to shed some light on a minor gap about that matter in R C API. Currently we are able to check inheritance for S3 class objects from C in a robust way (no allocation, thread safe). This is unfortunately not possible for S4 classes. I would kindly request new

Thank you Luke. That is why I don't use Rf_inherits but INHERITS which does not allocate, provided in the email body. I cannot do similarly for S4 classes, thus asking for some API for that.

Hi, (sorry for the wall of text; the issue here appears to be rather complicated) I'm seeing a somewhat strange case where checking whether an S4 object inherits from a parent class defined from another package with 'inherits' fails if that object is materialized through a call to 'load'. That's a mouthful, so I've put together a relatively small reproducible example

I should add one more item that may be related here -- calling 'methods:::.requirePackage' returns a different result based on whether the package namespace is already loaded or not. If the package namespace is not loaded, the package is loaded and attached, and the package environment is returned: > methods:::.requirePackage("digest") Loading required package:

First, if I have an S4 class boo should I define S3 method for printing print.boo(..) or should I define S4 method print(..). I mainly need to define print function only because some user might call it and then I would like to dispatch the call to right function instead. Second, it seems that by defining S4 generic function print, it is possible to break argument hinting on the status bar.

The S3 class model isn't really a class model. It's more a way of overloading functions. So it's rather simple, and there's less there than you might be expecting. I always thought the "Object Oriented Programming" chapter of the R language definition manual that ships with R was a very good treatment. Have you tried there? If not, please do so. But surely you know how

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

Hi R Users, I am relatively new to programming in R ? so I apologise if my questions appear ?dumb?. I am using a package that defines a number of S3 classes. I want to create an S3 child class of one of these classes. The parent class has a contractor with many arguments. I have been having difficulty writing the child class contractor. I have been unable to find a good reference in the internet

A general goal for the next version of R is to make S4 and S3 play better together. As mentioned in a previous thread, one limitation has been that S3 generic functions, specifically the UseMethod() call, did not make use of S4 inheritance when dispatching on general S4 objects. This has been fixed in a version committed today (updated to rev 52267). The code change is not large, but it

(Just returning from the "wilds" of Canada, so not able to comment on the specifics, but ...) There is a basic point about generic functions that may be related to the "private" class question and my earlier remarks that Martin alluded to. R (and S4 before it) allows packages to define methods for a generic function in another package. Say, for plot() in graphics. The

is() does not catch parent S3 classes: > library(splines) > temp <- bs(1:99, df=5) > class(temp) [1] "bs" "basis" > is(temp, "basis") [1] FALSE In contrast, is() does catch parent S4 classes: > library(copula) > norm.cop <- ellipCopula("normal", param = c(0.5, 0.6, 0.7), + dim = 3, dispstr = "un")

Dear all, To explain my problem I am attaching a demonstration package "myclasspkg": I have the following two S4 classes with similar inheritance: SubSubClassA <- SubClassB <- BaseClass SubSubClassB <- SubClassB <- BaseClass In R I am calling the following functions: > library(myclasspkg) > subA <-

Hi R-users, I have a question relating to the HoltWinters() function. I am trying to forecast a series using the Holt Winters methodology but I am getting some unusual results. I had previously been using R for Windows version 2.7.2 and have just started using R 2.9.1. While using version 2.7.2 I was getting reasonable results however upon changing versions I found I started to see unusual
