Hello,
I am trying to write an R package for doing analysis of speaker
recognition systems. The big thing in this line of research is a
DET-plot (detection Error Trade-off, a ROC plot with qnorm() warped
axes). My approach has been to make a class "det" and also a
function "det()" that will prepare the data into the right class.
Now loading the library doesn't like me re-defining the determinant
function "det" from the base package. I have tried to save its
definition using code like
## keep old definition of det()
## det.matrix <- det
det <- function(x, ...) UseMethod("det")
det.default <- base::det
which allows me perfectly fine to use det() as determinant of a
matrix, but still loading the library complains with a
> library(sretools)
Loading required package: fdrtool
Attaching package: 'sretools'
The following object(s) are masked from package:base :
det
Is there a recommended way to do this style of "overloading" (albeit a
completely different kind of function), or am I simply not supposed to
use the name of an existing function in my packages?
Cheers,
---david
