I don't know of any '"non official list" of what method a new S4 object should have' - such a list would have to depend on what the object represents. If it represents the output of fitting a model, then methods for 'residuals', 'fitted' and 'coefficients' would probably be nice.
Also, out of curiosity, what do your methods for `get' and `set' for each slot look like? Is there any advantage to using such methods over using slot(objectOfYourClass, "aSlotName") # for get, and slot(objectOfYourClass, "aSlotName") <- aValue # for set On Sat, 23 Feb 2008, Christophe Genolini wrote: > Hi the list, > > I am defining a new class.
