similar to: problems trying to extend a class

Hi dear helpers, I have been using for quite a long time a script where a class extends another one (without trouble). But I now have problems of that kind while trying to run the script : Error in insertMethod(methods, sig, args, def, TRUE) : inserting method corresponding to empty signature I think this may be because the way I wrote the scripts could be deprecated. Indeed I

Hi, I don't understand why this code doesn't work (f(b2)): ///////////////// setClass("B0", representation(b0 = "numeric")) setClass("B1", representation("B0", b1 = "character")) setClass("B2", representation("B1", b2 = "logical")) f <- function(x) class(x) setMethod("f", "B0",

I have a class that extends array and my method for "[" stops with an error: > setClass("A", contains="array") [1] "A" > setMethod("[", "A", function(x, i, j, ..., drop = TRUE) new("A", callNextMethod())) [1] "[" > a<-new("A",array(1:12,c(4,3,1))) > a An object of class "A" , , 1

Can someone explain what the problem is when I use the generating function? And how to get debug() to stop in the Superclass initialize method? ---- source ----- setClass("Superclass", representation(id = "character"), contains = "VIRTUAL") setMethod("initialize", signature(.Object = "Superclass"),

Hi, Given a simple three class hierarchy: A <-- B <-- C I want to define an initialize method for each class such that when I call new("C", x=5), the initialize methods for A and B are used to incrementally build the object. When I do what seems obvious to me using callNextMethod, I get an infinite recursion. An example follows... setClass("A",

Dear all, Maybe, I am doing something wrong, but using R-2.5.0 on my Intel-Mac, I have problems using function callNextMethod() in method initialize. I am loading the following code as file "testS4.R": setClass("baseClass", representation(myname = "character", mydir = "character", "VIRTUAL"),

Hi, there seems to be a possible bug in callNextMethod in conjunction with the [-operator. Relevant info, minimal example and sessionInfo follow below: ############################### setClass("foo", representation = representation(a = "numeric")) setClass("bar", contains = "foo") setMethod( f = "[", signature =

I don't understand why I get the following results. I define two classes 'Base' and 'Derived', the latter of which 'contains' the first. I then define a generic method 'test' and overload it for each of these classes. I call 'callNextMethod()' in the overload for Derived. From the output, it appears that the overload for Base gets called twice. Why is

(I am not sure if this is a bug or a request for a more understandable warning, or possible something obvious I should be posting on r-help.) I am trying to coerce an new class object to be a DBIConnection and it does not work the way I think it should: R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) ... > require("RMySQL") # or require("RSQLite") Loading required package: RMySQL Loading

Hi all, It seems that there is a use case for obtaining the environment for the "top" promise. By "top", I mean following the promise chain up the call stack until hitting a non-promise. S4 data containers often mimic the API of base R data structures. This means writing S4 methods for functions that quote their arguments, like with() and subset(). The methods package

Dear UseRs, Does anyone know when exactly the validity is checked in S4? Documentation is silent:(. Here is a small example: setClass("test1",representation(a="numeric")) setMethod("initialize","test1", function(.Object,...){ a<-runif(1) ## here slot "a" is initialized ## callNextMethod(.Object,a=a,...)

Hi again, Here is a very simplified version of a class hierarchy defined in the Biobase package (Bioconductor). I post here because this seems to be an S4 related problem: setClass("A", representation(name="character")) setMethod("initialize", "A", function(.Object) {.Object at name <- "I'm an A"; .Object})

Dear all, I am just writing the documentation file for S4 class 'QualTreeSet' and get the following warning with R CMD check: * checking for missing documentation entries ... WARNING Undocumented S4 methods: generic 'initialize' and siglist 'QualTreeSet' All user-level objects in a package (including S4 classes and methods) should have documentation entries. See the

Hi all, I am having trouble extending S4 classes in cases where I'm using both validity and initialize methods. I've read as much S4 information as I can find, but I've yet to have that "a-ha" moment. In my application, I am using validity methods to guard against inappropriate input data that my code has no way of handling, and initialize methods to detect and deal

Hi, Strange things happen. Here is a simple example: > setClass("A", contains="integer") > setMethod("as.matrix", "A", function(x, ...) t(callNextMethod())) Creating a generic function for ?as.matrix? from package ?base? in the global environment [1] "as.matrix" > a <- new("A", 1:3) > as.matrix(a)

Apparently using an existing function as the definition for a method is a no-no (at least as I'm doing it), producing infinite recursion. setClass("A", representation(model="ANY") ) fiddle <- function(self) { 1 } setMethod("fiddle", signature(self="A"), definition = fiddle ### problem )

Hi R-Help, Please consider the following simple case: I have a class like setClass("myClass", representation(x="matrix", y="character")) and I would like to use the method *"["* for a *myClass* objects (but changing the default *drop* argument from TRUE to FALSE): setMethod("[","myClass", function(x,i,j,...,drop=FALSE)

Dear all Below is the code for "scriptPreFilter.R" which gives the following result: > source("scriptPreFilter.R") > prefltr <- new("PreFilter", mad=c(0.5,0.01)) [1] "------initialize:PreFilter------" [1] "------initialize:Filter------" > str(prefltr) Formal class 'PreFilter' [package ".GlobalEnv"] with 2 slots

Hello R users, I am trying to make a my first package and I get an error that I can understand. The package is build out of three files (one for functions, 1 for s4 classes and 1 for s4 methods). Once I source them I run package.skeleton( name="TDC" ) within a R session and I get Creating directories ... Creating DESCRIPTION ... Creating Read-and-delete-me ... Saving functions and

I feel tedious when I define a S4 class and the methods. For each method, I have to call both setMethod and setGeneric (or both setReplaceMethod and setGeneric). I would like a more compact grammar so that I can reduce the key strokes. I'm wondering if there is a better way available. setClass( Class='A', representation=representation( x='numeric' )
