Thanks a lot for answering. Before I get into it, please note that everything below bears the big capture "Thanks for trying to help me at all". 1) Yeah, those examples - quite hard to satisfy everyone's needs ;-) While the one side complained that my past examples regarding this issue were not informative enough, others didn't like the more elaborated version (as seems to be

Sorry guys, didn't see your responses before sending mine. Thanks jeroen!! I'll test your version today and get back to you.

Janko and I have been in touch. This is, I believe, a Windows specific issue and a compilation issue. I could be wrong, but that is my impression from other reports. When I have time (?! :-)), I will deal with it. Hopefully this will be very soon. Thanks Janko. D.

Dear List, I’m doing my first baby steps towards developing own R Packages and ran into the following problem: R CMD check mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD build mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD INSTALL –library=”C:\R\R-2.11.1\library” “something\mypackage\mypackage_1.0.tar.gz” works fine (no errors, no warnings) However, when I try loading the

Dear list, I was wondering if you could help me out in clarifying something: Is it possible to use class "ANY" in slots/fields of formal classes if you a) do not want to restrict valid classes of that field and b) if you are making explicit use of class inheritance? It seems to work in simple scenarios but produces errors when class inheritance comes into play. So I was

Dear list, today I stumbled across the function ?nsl()? for the first time in order to perform a hostname lookup. According to the R Reference Index (Version 2.9.1, page 1522), the function should be part of the "utils" package. However, I cannot find it in the utils package of my installation(s). I've tried the R-versions 2.8.1, 2.9.0 and 2.9.1. I'd be very thankful if

Hi Gabriel, and thanks for answering. I'm basically just trying to find a way to use the power of `...` in more complex scenarios and I'm well aware that this might not be the best approach ;-) Regarding your actual question: "Are you suggesting methods be dispatched based on the *contents* of ... [...]?" Yes, I guess currently I kind of do - but not on the argument *names*

Dear list, I've got the following problem: In a package I'm trying to build, there exists a method for the function "as.ts()". When checking the package, R always throws the error that it cannot find a function called "as.ts". To me it seems that the package "stats" (home of "as.ts()") is not loaded during the checking process even though

Well, the benefit lies in the ability to pass along arguments via `...` to more than one recipient that use *identical argument names* and/or when these recipients are not necessarily located on the same calling stack layer. I'm *not* after a *general* change in the way arguments are dispatched/functions are called as I'm actually a big friend of keepings things quite explicit (thus

Dear List, I would like to include a couple of objects in a package I am developing and I don't really get it yet. The objects should be available after package load as some functions depend on it. I tried the following: 1) Bundling all objects that I need in the file '/R/sysdata.rda' as described in the "Writing R Extensions" manual on page 7 2)

Dear List, I'm currently investigating if the argument dispatch mechanism based on `...` could somehow be "generalized" to scenarios that involve `r` recipients located across `c` calling stack layers *and* combined with the S4 method mechanism (for those interested see

Dear list, somehow I can't get the Roxygen tag "@example" to work for me. My "Roxygen-Header" of a script containing, say, a function looks like this: #' My header #' #' My description #' #' @param a Blabla. #' @param b Blabla. #' @return \code{TRUE}. #' @callGraphPrimitives #' @references #'

Hi there, I''d like to choose between an "static" and "dynamic" access of a reference class field, say ''a''. myObj <- getRefClass("Blabla")$new() Static: myObj$a Dynamic: myObj$a.get() where the function retrieves the data from a database (or some other location), stores it to a buffer and

Dear List, I'm trying to figure out some best practice way with respect to the naming conventions when building own packages. I'd like to minimize the risk of choosing function names that might interfere with those of other packages (both available ones and those yet to come). I came up with following alternatives 1. Prefixing the actual names (e.g. myPkgfoo() instead of foo()): pretty

Dear List, I'd like to set up a package repository so I can use install.packages() on it for home-grown packages. I set up an AMPP infrastructure on a windows box already, but I'm pretty lost with respect to what to do next as I didn't do any web-programming/admin yet. Could anyone recommend some r-specific tutorials or has a couple of suggestions for me? I've had a look at the

Dear list, is there a way to declare public and private methods in S4 Reference Classes? If not, are there plans to add such a feature? You'll find a small code example of what I mean at Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11073253/oop-with-r-is-there-a-way-to-declare-public-and-private-methods-s4-reference-c Thanks a lot, Janko Thyson

Dear list, I have a reference class which should act as a "generic" superclass for other classes. I've read the respective section at ?setRefClass and put the name of the superclass to the 'contains' argument of an example subclass (see class defs below). Classnames are set in a way that shouldn't result in collation issues (virtual def sourced before superclass def
