Dear all, I am trying to define "+" method for my newly defined s4 class which is as follows: setClass("Me", sealed=F,representation(x1 = "numeric", x2 = "character")) new1 <- new("Me", x1=2, x2="comment1") new2 <- new("Me", x1=3, x2="comment1") setMethod("+", "Me",

Hello,   I would like to overload the "+" operator so that it can be used to concatenate two strings, e.g "John" + "Doe" = "JohnDoe". How can I 'unseal' the "+" method? > setMethod("+", signature(e1="character", e2="character"), function(e1, e2) paste(e1, e2, sep="") ) Error in

Why doesn't R have one, like "." in Perl or juxtaposition in awk? It does not seem impossible to introduce one, if that would be reasonable. It would seem to involve adding a table entry to main/names.c for the binary operator and a corresponding internal function, say do_dot(). This cannot be simply do_paste(), since the implied separator is "". So, do_dot() might be

Hi In V&R the "polynomial" class is explicitly specified to have no logical operators: setMethod("Logic", signature(e1="polynomial"), function(e1,e2){stop ("...")}) I too have a class of objects for which I want to specify that Logic operators do not work, but executing setClass("brob", representation = representation

Hi, we have some questions concerning the definition of new arithmetic methods. In our package "distr" (on CRAN) we define some new arithmetic methods for "+", "-", "*", "/". After loading "distr" the corresponding arithmetic methods work. Now, if we define a new class and also a new method for one of the arithmetic methods

Dear list, It seems that S4 methods defined for an S3 'base' generic are not used in 'base' functions. This can be problematic when 'base' functions start with something like 'as.matrix'. ### START R code setClass("classA", contains = "matrix", representation(realData = "numeric")) setMethod("as.matrix",

I have classes A and B, where B contains A. In the implementation of the group generic for B I would like to use the corresponding group generic for A. Is there a way to do that? I would also appreciate any comments if what I'm trying to do seems like the wrong approach. Here's a stripped down example: setClass("A",

Hi, Using latest R 2.5.0 Patched, I'm unable to install the Matrix package from cran.fhcrc.org. I get: Creating a new generic function for "isSymmetric" in "Matrix" Creating a new generic function for "unname" in "Matrix" Error in conformMethod(signature, mnames, fnames, f) : In method for function "!": formal arguments omitted in

Dear all, I have a question regarding setIs and method dispatch in S4 classes: Consider the following example: ##################################################### ## A02 "contains" A01 by setIs: setClass("A01", representation(a="numeric",b="numeric")) setClass("A02", representation(a="numeric",d="numeric"))

Hello everybody R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-15 r39323), MacOSX 10.4.7 Next S4 problem. I have "brob" objects that are large real numbers, and now I want "glub" numbers that are to be a pair of glubs that represent complex numbers. I want to define binary operator "+" so that if either the left or right argument are glubs, it uses .ArithGlub. If either

That might be worth thinking about generally, but it would still be nice to have the base generics pre-defined, so that people are not copy and pasting the definitions everywhere, hoping that they stay consistent.

Hi all, I don't understand why this does not what I expect : ## code start here ############## setClass("num",representation(x="numeric")) num<-function(x) new("num",x=x) add<-function(e1,e2) { cat("Computing ",deparse(substitute(e1)),"+",deparse(substitute(e2)),"\n") e1@x+e2@x }

Dear John and Seth, dear R-devels, once again the question of method dispatch in S4 -- this time with setClassUnion(); taking up your advice in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-April/037200.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-April/037201.html I have been too quick in stating that >setClassUnion()---at least in my case---solves the problem; > The problem arises

I have been writing some S4 classes and have a problem about how I might pass a signature to "c()". Take the following example: setClass("collection", representation("list", date="POSIXt")) x <- new("collection", list(1,2,3), date=Sys.time()) y <- new("collection", list(4,5,6), date=Sys.time()) obviously, I can do c(x,y), but

Dear R community I try to create a new operator to build a special sum of two CashFlows. (my S4 Class) I tried the following but this is actually not what I want. setGeneric("++",function(e1,e2)standardGeneric("++")) setMethod("+",signature=list("CashFlow","CashFlow"),function(e1,e2){ print("+") })

Dear R developers, I have a new class, which I called "Molecule", and have tried to define = a "+" operation for 2 objects of this class. This is what I have written so far, although the method is not complete = (I'm trying to look at it at intermediate stages): setMethod( f=3D"+", signature(x=3D"Molecule",y=3D"Molecule"),

Dear all, In R-devel I have noticed the new approach for the "ts" class in the package "methods". the "structure" behaviour of "ts" is not always kept when one uses "ts" objects and objects of classes which extend the virtual class "structure". As a short example: ## this works fine setClass("foo", representation(header =

Hi, In the man page for is.unsorted(): Value: A length-one logical value. All objects of length 0 or 1 are sorted: the result will be ?NA? for objects of length 2 or more except for atomic vectors and objects with a class (where the ?>=? or ?>? method is used to compare ?x[i]? with ?x[i-1]? for ?i? in ?2:length(x)?). This contains many incorrect

I am trying to write S4 methods with "difftime" in the signature but am being "informed" (? not a warning or error) that "difftime" is not a class. Nevertheless, dispatch takes place. Should I simply ignore that "information"? Here is a toy example: > setClass("foo", contains = "Date") > setMethod("+", c("foo",
