I want to call summary on a mer object (from lme4) within my package but I can't seem to get the namespace to import the necessary method.
I've simplified my package to this one function: --------------------------- ss <- function(m) { summary(m) } --------------------------- And my namespace file looks like this, where I've attempted to follow the instructions in "Writing R Extensions" http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Name-spaces-with-S4-classes-and-methods --------------------------- import(lme4) importMethodsFrom(lme4, "summary") export("ss") --------------------------- But when I call my new function, I get the summary.default method instead of the mer method. > m <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy) > ss(m) Length Class Mode 1 mer S4 Thanks, -- Aaron Rendahl, Ph.D. Statistical Consulting Manager School of Statistics, University of Minnesota NEW OFFICE (as of June 2009): 48C McNeal Hall, St. Paul Campus 612-625-1062 www.stat.umn.edu/consulting ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
