Using car:::df.terms explicitly is another option.
Another possibility is for the car maintainer (John Fox) to export
that function from car.
Hmm. It turns out that this is a bit more complicated, since
car::df.terms is an S3 generic,
relying on car:::df.terms.default().
In my function, I am now using car::: explicitly--
# determine "size" of intervals [perhaps need importFrom(car,
car:::df.terms, ...) in NAMESPACE?]
if(is.null(df)) {
df <- if (Scheffe) sum(car:::df.terms(object)) else 2
}
However, when I removed the definitions of the subsidiary
df.terms.default from my package, R CMD check
complains bitterly:
> coefplot(mod, add=TRUE, Scheffe=TRUE, fill=TRUE)
Error in UseMethod("df.terms") :
no applicable method for 'df.terms' applied to an object of class
"c('mlm', 'lm')"
Calls: coefplot -> coefplot.mlm -> <Anonymous>
Execution halted
So, the semantics of importFrom() do not allow non-exported functions (I
still wonder why), and my only direct option is to
copy these functions to my package.
