Hi all, this is my first post in R devel… sorry if I lost some of the guidelines.
Anyway this is my problem: Version: R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) I want to make an S4 class that use the output object of the function of nls.lm as a slot: setOldClass("nls.lm") setClass ( Class="TestClass", representation=representation( lmOutput = "nls.lm", anumeric = "numeric" ) ) Now, if I want to call this class in a "constructor function" I can do something like this (correct?): myConstructor <- function() { return(new("TestClass")) } pippo <- myConstructor() > pippo An object of class "TestClass" Slot "lmOutput": <S4 Type Object> attr(,".S3Class") [1] "nls.lm" Slot "anumeric": numeric(0) And the object "pippo" seems correctly initialized. If I use this code instead I got an error: myConstructor2 <- function() { pippo <- new("TestClass", anumeric=1000) return(pippo) } > pippo <- myConstructor2() Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class “TestClass” object: invalid object for slot "lmOutput" in class "TestClass": got class "S4", should be or extend class "nls.lm" Seems that if I want to INIT in new some slots, this create problem with a S3 Class slot? Any clue on how to avoid this problem?
