Greetings to r-help land. I've run into some program crashes and I've traced them back to methods() behavior after the package gdata is loaded. I provide now a minimal re-producible example. This seems bugish to me. How about you?
dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100)) lm1 <- lm(y ~ x, data = dat) methods(class = "lm") ## OK so far library(gdata) methods(class = "lm") ## epic fail ## OUTPUT. > dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100)) > lm1 <- lm(y ~ x, data = dat) > > methods(class = "lm") [1] add1.lm* alias.lm* anova.lm case.names.lm* [5] confint.lm* cooks.distance.lm* deviance.lm* dfbeta.lm* [9] dfbetas.lm* drop1.lm* dummy.coef.lm* effects.lm* [13] extractAIC.lm* family.lm* formula.lm* hatvalues.lm [17] influence.lm* kappa.lm labels.lm* logLik.lm* [21] model.frame.lm model.matrix.lm nobs.lm* plot.lm [25] predict.lm print.lm proj.lm* qr.lm* [29] residuals.lm rstandard.lm rstudent.lm simulate.lm* [33] summary.lm variable.names.lm* vcov.lm* Non-visible functions are asterisked > > library(gdata) gdata: read.xls support for 'XLS' (Excel 97-2004) files ENABLED. gdata: read.xls support for 'XLSX' (Excel 2007+) files ENABLED.
