similar to: as.vector in R-devel loaded 3/3/2016

Er, until _what_ is fixed? I see no anomalies with the version in R-pre: > library(Matrix) > as.vector standardGeneric for "as.vector" defined from package "base" function (x, mode = "any") standardGeneric("as.vector") <environment: 0x7fe8f4516640> Methods may be defined for arguments: x, mode Use showMethods("as.vector") for

I see as below, where getGeneric and getMethod imply a different signature; the signature is mode="any" for both cases in R version 3.2.3 Patched (2016-01-28 r70038)I don't know how to reproduce Jeff's error, though. > library(Matrix) > as.vector function (x, mode = "any") .Internal(as.vector(x, mode)) <bytecode: 0xe79f88> <environment:

Dear all, I'm getting more and more frustrated with the whole S4 thing and I'm looking for a more advanced summary on how to deal with them. Often I get error messages that don't make sense at all, or the code is not doing what I think it would do. Far too often inspecting the code requires me to go to the source, which doesn't really help in easily finding the bit of code

Hi, Say I have two packages, test1 and test2, that both define the generic method train (identical definition), and each has a specific train method for a different S4 object (foo and bar, resp.) I want to be able to call train(foo, x, y) and train(bar, x, y), which doesn't work since test2 masks test1, as seen below. The two solutions I can think of are to a) prefix train,

Hi, I'm developing in S4 and I wanted to see the methods for a specific class using showMethods but I didn't succed. Can someone help ? See the example below. setClass("myclass", representation( name ="character" ) ) setGeneric("mymeth", function(obj, ...){ standardGeneric("mymeth") } ) setMethod("mymeth",

There seems to be a bug arising when using multiple S4 generics with "..." as the signature. The following code works as expected: ############################################################## > setGeneric("rbind", function(..., deparse.level=1) standardGeneric("rbind"), + signature = "...") Creating a generic for "rbind" in

In this post https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2013-March/004152.html a package author reports that S4 dispatch fails. I can reproduce this with a PkgA (attached; 'intervals' is a relatively light-weight CRAN package) that has DESCRIPTION with Depends: intervals Imports: graphics NAMESPACE: importFrom(graphics, "plot") export("plot")

Hi the list, I define a method that want to change an object without assignation (foo(x) and not x<-foo(x)) using deparse and assign. But when the argument of the method does not match *exactly* with the definition of the generic function, assign does not work... Anything wrong? Christophe #------ Does not work ------#

I've installed R-devel R Under development (unstable) (2014-07-09 r66111) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit) and am trying to resolve some problems that I am seeing with my SparseM package. In prior versions I explicitly had: setGeneric("image", function(x, ...) standardGeneric("image")) and then used setMethod to define a method for the class matrix.csr but

I spent a lot of time searching and came up empty handed on the following query. Is there an equivalent to rowSums that does product or cumulative product and avoids use of apply or looping? I found a rowProd in a package but it was a convenience function for apply. As part of a likelihood calculation called from optim, I?m computing products and cumulative products of rows of matrices with

Any insight into the behavior of "by" in the following case would be appreciated. There is a note in the help details for "by" about documenting behavior since v2.7 but I don't entirely understand what it is saying. I'm using R2.7.2 Windows. I'm interested if the following behavior was a change or whether it has always worked this way. I looked at

Hello. This question concerns the Methods package. I have created a new class and am trying to set a method for it for S4 group generic "Summary". I have run into some signature problems. An example: > setClass("track", representation(x="numeric", y="character")) [1] "track" > setGeneric("max", group="Summary")

Hi, The following question might come from my (deep) misunderstanding of the concepts in the package 'methods'. I have a class 'A', and a class 'B' inheriting 'A' (so defined with 'setClass' and the parameter 'contains="A"'. The class A has a method 'mymethod'. A call to 'showMethods("mymethod")' return the

Dear All, I have the following error message when I fitted lmer to a binary data with the "AGQ" option: Error in family$mu.eta(eta) : NAs are not allowed in subscripted assignments In addition: Warning message: IRLS iterations for PQL did not converge Any help? Thanks in advance, Abderrahim [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi the list When two setGeneric occurs on the same function, the second erage the first and erase all the function previously define. Is it possible to prevent that ? Is it possible to declare a setGeneric that can not be erased later ? Something like the |sealed for setMethod...| || |Thanks| || Christophe

hello, if i load the RSQLite package in addition to the RPostgreSQL package, i get various errors when trying to use RPostgreSQL functions. here is an example transcript showing one such error: ========================================================== R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) [...] > packageVersion('RPostgreSQL') [1] 0.3.2 > packageVersion('RSQLite') [1] 0.11.1

> library(contrast) > contrast function (fit, ...) UseMethod("contrast") <environment: namespace:contrast> I guess the above function is S3. Could somebody let me know how to show the function body in an R session?

Hi, S4 method dispatch can be very slow. Would it be reasonable to cache the most recent dispatch, anticipating the next invocation will be on the same type? This would be very helpful in loops. fun0 <- function(x) sapply(x, paste, collapse="+") fun1 <- function(x) { paste <- selectMethod(paste, class(x[[1]])) sapply(x, paste,
