I'm trying to add arguments to the AIC method for some classes -- things like weights=TRUE to calculate AIC weights corr=TRUE, nobs to calculate AICc delta=TRUE to put a delta-AIC column in the output.
The problem is that AIC is defined as
AIC(object, ..., k=2) where k is the constant associated
with the penalty term and ... is a list of objects
that will have their AICs calculated and listed.
Thus I'm not allowed (I think) to extend the definition to
AIC(object, ..., nobs, corr=FALSE, delta=FALSE, weights=FALSE, k=2)
An ugly solution to this is to go through the ... list and
pull out the values of any of the other arguments I want, and
then set them to NULL, leaving the list composed only of
additional objects to calculate the AIC for. But it seems
really ugly ...
Any ideas for a better way to do this would be
appreciated. (Please be gentle if possible, I'm a bit out
of my depth with S4 ...)
cheers
