similar to: Extending a data frame with S4

I'd trying to subclass the "lm" class to produce a "mylm" class whose instances behave like lm objects (are accepted by methods like summary.lm) but have additional data or slots of my own design. For starters: setClass("mylm", "lm") produces the somewhat cryptic: Warning message: Old-style (``S3'') class "mylm" supplied as a

The default initialization for slots of class "factor" and "data.frame" gives NULL. This seems odd, since those slots can't ever be set to NULL by the user. I would expect zero-length instances of factor and data.frame. Here is an example: setClass("FOO", representation(a="factor", b="data.frame", c="numeric")) [1] "FOO"

While installing my small package, I met a tricky problem. For clarity, let me explain it with the following simplified example. In ~/pkg/R/aclass.R, setClass("aclass", contains="bclass", representation(i="numeric")) In ~/pkg/R/bclass.R, setClass("bclass", representation(j="numeric")) After building a "pkg" package, the file

Dear listmembers, I would like to define a class with a slot that takes either an object of class aov or NULL. I have been reading "S4 Classes in 15 pages more or less" and "Lecture: S4 classes and methods" #First I tried with list and NULL setClass(listOrNULL") setIs("list", "listOrNULL") setIs("NULL", "listOrNULL") #doesn't

Hi Martin, Thankyou for your response. I suspect that we're not going to agree on the main point. Making it trivially simple (as say Java) to set slots to NULL. So, I'll move on to the other points here. ***Note that cited text uses excerpts only.*** > setClassUnion("character_OR_NULL", c("character", "NULL")) > A = setClass("A", slots =

R-devel, I'm interested in looking at some examples of existing R packages that rely heavily on S4 classes to get a feel for varying styles and package organization techniques. Could you recommend any packages that might serve as a good starting point? Thanks in advance, Jeff

Is there any R function that computes the convolution of the double exponential distribution? If not, is there a good way to integrate ((q+x)^n)*exp(-2x) over x from 0 to Inf for any value of q and for any positive integer n? I need to perform the integration within a function with q and n as arguments. The function integrate() is giving me this message: "evaluation of function gave a

Hi everyone, I am new to R, but it's really great and helped me a lot! But now I have 2 questions. It would be great, if someone can help me: 1. I want to integrate a normal distribution, given a median and sd. The integrate function works great BUT the first argument has to be a function so I do integrate(dnorm,0,1) and it works with standard m. and sd. But I have the m and sd given.

Using the heatmap.2 function, I am trying to generate a heatmap of a 2 column x 500 row matrix of numeric values. I would like the 1st column of the matrix sorted from the highest to the lowest values - so that the colors reflected in the first column of the heatmap (top to bottom) go from red to green. After sorting the matrix (z), I tried the following command, but the data remains

Dear developers, We want to use "\S4method" to document new S4-methods for "[" and "[<-". We use this for other functions/methods and it works without any problem, but in case of "[" and "[<-" we didn't manage to bring this to work. The problem occurs in the development version of our package "distrSim" which can be found

Hello, Given a probability function: p(x) = 12 / (25(x+1)) , x=0, 1, 2, 3 we generate the following values: C1 C2 0 0.48 1 0.24 2 0.16 3 0.12 Now, I'm supposed to create 50 random values using this table. In MiniTab, I simply selected Calc -> Random Data -> Discrete, and selected the columns, and it created 50 random values in a new column.[1] How do I do the

Hello, in a Rnw-file I have this used stuff to try out tex-results... ============================== <<>>>= texme <- function() cat( "{\\bf Hallo, das ist voll fett!}\n" ) @ <<results="verbatim">>= texme() @ ============================== I used this command: "R CMD Sweave example.Rnw" and got this error:

Answering to convey the 'rules' as I know them, rather than to address the underlying issues that I guess you are really after... The S4 practice is to use setOldClass() to explicitly treat an S3 character() vector of classes as an assertion of linear inheritance > x <- structure (sqrt (37), class = c ("sqrt.prime", "numeric") ) > is(x,

Has anyone implemented Tibrishani's gap statistic in R or S plus? If so I would greatly appreciate the relevant script file.

Doese anyone know a R function to find the median of a gamma distribution? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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")

Hi there. Thanks for your time in advance. I am using R 2.2.0 and OS: Windows XP. My final goal is to calculate 1/2*integral of (f1(x)^1/2-f2(x)^(1/2))^2dx (Latex codes: $\frac{1}{2}\int^{{\infty}}_{\infty} (\sqrt{f_1(x)}-\sqrt{f_2(x)})^2dx $.) where f1(x) and f2(x) are two marginal densities. My problem: I have the following R codes using "adapt" package. Although "adapt"

Hi all, Other than: http://www.stamats.de/F2006.r Are there other good simple examples out there of using the ROptRegTS package (part of the RobASt project)? I'm hoping to plug it in for multivariate regression. Or is this not a good idea? Just trying to find out how it compares to rlm, lts, glm, etc. Hopefully this makes sense, I'm new to the world of statistics and R. Thanks! St0x
