For S3 methods I'd try something like methods(predict)
[1] predict.ar* predict.Arima* predict.arima0* predict.glm [5] predict.HoltWinters* predict.lm predict.loess* predict.mlm [9] predict.nls* predict.poly predict.ppr* predict.prcomp* [13] predict.princomp* predict.smooth.spline* predict.smooth.spline.fit* predict.StructTS* Non-visible functions are asterisked and then e.g. predict.lm or getAnywhere(predict.ar) for those Non-visible HIH Stef On Tue, Oct 02, 2007 at 11:52:34PM +0900, Strong wrote: <Strong>Dear All <Strong> <Strong>I am a biginner of R. <Strong> <Strong>I have difficulty with reading the code of a method. <Strong> <Strong>I am using the vars package to estimate a VAR model and I want to view the code of "predict" method for objects with class attribute "varest". <Strong> <Strong>I thougt I could just type the name "predict" without anything to display the code of the method as I often do with generic function.
