I received a warning about incompatible methods that I don't understand.
The workaround in this example is simple.
What is the reason that these methods are seen as incompatible?
Is there some dangerous consequence of my as.numeric() workaround?
Can a fix to the code base, perhaps similar to my workaround, make this
warning no longer necessary?
I am using R 2.7.0 on Windows.
version.string R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22)
Thanks
