Hello list. This is from an R session (admittedly, I''m still using R 2.11.1): > print function (x, ...) UseMethod("print") <environment: namespace:base> > showMethods("print") Function "print": <not a generic function> Don''t the two results contradict each other? Or do I have a terrible misunderstanding of what

Full_Name: Elizabeth Purdom Version: 1.9.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (171.64.102.199) It would be nice if names(obj) would give slot names as well. Since for many people slots are new, the first thing that happens is you try to access what's in them and can't find how to do it. If you don't know that slotNames() exists, it can be very frustrating. Moreover, if you

(I think this is being caused by the new methods package in RC.) In the RC (March 24) some of my packages are generating a Note Note: Method with signature "MySQLConnection#integer" chosen for function "coerce", target signature "TSMySQLConnection#integer". "dbObjectId#integer" would also be valid This is coming from a call to dbGetQuery() in package

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")

Dear R developers, I am having a slightly weird issue with a S4 method defined in my package adegenet 1.2-4, with R 2.11.0. As far as I know, the problem is new, and the code implementing the method has not changed for more than a year and worked well so far. The problem is the following. I define, in the package, a method "[" for the S4 class 'genind'. The method's

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

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

The package 'graph' defines classes graph and graphNEL (extending graph) and a union,graph,graph-method. These are all exported and fully documented. The package 'GSEABase' Imports: graph and importClassesFrom(graph, graphNEL). GSEABase defines methods on union for its own classes (not graph / graphNEL), and has exportMethods(union). union,graph,graph-method is not used in

Hi, When I go to the CRAN page to download a new version of R, there are not the same versions available depending on which mirror I pick. When I go to http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/, for example, I get 2.2.1, but if I go http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/ the option is 2.2.0 (I'm downloading the Windows base file). Neither refreshing nor clearing my cache changes it. For future reference, I'd

Hello everyone, Im working with graphNEL object and want to extract all the nodes which have adjacent nodes with at least 20 nodes in between them. acc(graph, graphnodes) obviously provides a list for the accessable nodes of every node from a node and a number of the edges between them. Like this: $`hsa:8379` hsa:100131844 hsa:10393 hsa:246184 hsa:29882 hsa:29945 1

Hello, I came across the following behavior, which seems illogical to me. I don't know if it is a bug or if I'm missing something: > all(logical(0)) [1] TRUE > any(logical(0)) [1] FALSE > isTRUE(logical(0)) [1] FALSE This actually came up in practice when I did something like > all( names(x) %in% vec ) as an error-handling, and I was hoping that it would work regardless

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",

showMethods isn't reporting inherited methods when it is first called. The methods are there and after calling them, showMethods gives the right output. Here is an example (using R-devel r39647): setClass("A", representation(x="numeric"), prototype=list(x=1)) setClass("B", contains="A", prototype=list(x=2))

Hi, I use sapply very frequently, but I have recently noticed a behavior of sapply which I don't understand and have never seen before. Basically, sapply returns what looks like a matrix, says it a matrix, and appears to let me do matrix things (like transpose). But it is also a list and behaves like a list when I subset it, not a vector (so I can't sort a row for instance). I

Hello, I am running large simulations, which unfortunately I can't really replicate here because the code is so extensive. I rely heavily on mclapply, but I realize that I'm losing data somewhere. There are two worrisome symptoms: 1) I am getting 'NULL' as a return value for some (but not all) elements of the output when I use mclapply, but not if I use lapply > tmp2[1:3]
