For what it's worth, I don't think this strategy can work in general, because a class might have attributes that depend on its data/contents (e.g. https://vctrs.r-lib.org/articles/s3-vector.html#cached-sum). I don't think these are particularly common in practice, but it's dangerous to assume that you can restore a class simply by restoring its attributes after subsetting. Hadley

You can try for testing with a column of class errors, from the package 'errors'. The attributes depend on the content in the way Hadley pointed out.

This may be an FAQ, but a (perfunctory) search failed to turn it up. Suppose I have a function foo(...){<something>} and I want to obtain, inside foo, the names of items comprising the ``...''. E.g. if I call foo(melvin,clyde,irving) I want to be able to loop through the ``...'' and successively obtain the text strings "melvin", "clyde", and

Hi all ! I noticed a strange behaviour of the function `class<-` when a class-specific '[[.' method is defined. Here below a reproducible example : #-------------------------------------------------------------------. counttt <- 0 `[[.MYCLASS` = function(x, ...) { counttt <<- counttt + 1 # browser() x = NextMethod() return(x) } df <- as.data.frame(matrix(1:20,

Hi, How to save an R object for example a matrix or vector and not all objects created in a session (which is usually performed by save.image or q("yes"))? Best, Carol [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

If one specifies new options in a package, using the options() function, where does/should one document these new options? E.g. suppose that I put the line options(melvin=42) in a file zzz.R in the R directory of the package source, where the package contains functions foo(), bar(), clyde(), and irving() which all query options("melvin") and take some action based on the value of

Dear R list members I am trying to improve a boxplot with 2 data sets. I run somethinkg like boxplot(data1 ~ month, add=F, col = "red", ...) boxplot(data2 ~ month, add=T, col = "blue", ...) The problem is that the data from February are missing for data2, so R think that must take little more space between the data classes in data 2 and then both data gropus are not aligned.

Hello, Clean R 3.6.1 session on Ubuntu 19.04, RStudio 1.1.453. sessionInfo() at the end. I can reproduce this. counttt <- 0 `[[.MYCLASS` = function(x, ...) { counttt <<- counttt + 1 # browser() x = NextMethod() return(x) } df <- as.data.frame(matrix(1:20, nrow=5)) class(df) <- c("MYCLASS","data.frame") counttt #[1] 9 But there's more.

Dear forum, I would like to use the kernel2d or spkernel2d in the Splancs-package, but it does not recognize my polygon data. "Error in kernel2d(as.points(ptsbin), polygonprov, h0 = 2, nx = 100, : " is the error message. Invalid poly argument The data are defined as follows: polgonprov<-list(x=polyprov$X, y=polyprov$Y) with X and Y coordinates in the Lambert1972

I have been trying to write a "proper" print method for a package, and have almost gotten what I want. From a reading of the relevant section in R Extensions and the introduction to methods, I've stuck the whole business into a character object and used: NextMethod("print") However, instead of not printing quotes and displaying the usual representation of the string,

I am trying to build a function in a context where the environment concept would appear to be useful. But I'm a bit foggy about this concept and would appreciate some pointers and advice. Basically the function I'm building, say foo(x,t), is a function of two variables). Depending on the value of t, foo will return one of the values f1(x), f2(x), ..., fk(x), where each of f1, ..., fk is

I had an error message while running a macro from Yudi Pawitan's web site: > source("ex2-13.r") Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 2 Inspecting ex2-13.r I found that the error was generated by another source() command. Clearly R does not like nested source()s, which is fair enough when you think about it. Still it's something that you might want
