Re: [R-pkg-devel] unregistered S3 methods in a package

Thank you Uwe and Martin for clarifying this issue. The last paragraph of the comments that Kurt pointed out refers to a generic function defined in a package; in my case, the generic is coef(), which is in the stats package not in the cv package, and the question concerned methods for coef()

Dear John, the question is not really easy to answer, but there is a nice summary Kurt pointed me to: The code of checkS3methods() includes the following comments with the last paragraph containing the short answer to your question: ## Check S3 generics and methods consistency. ## U

Re: [R-pkg-devel] unregistered S3 methods in a package

Thanks Toby and Jeff for chiming in on this. Jeff: I already read Kurt Hornik's post on "S3 Method Lookup" and quite a few other sources. The main point is that failing to register the methods works in that the methods are nevertheless invoked internally by functions in the package but don't

Re: [R-pkg-devel] unregistered S3 methods in a package

I have been reluctant to pipe up on this because I am no expert on the dark corners of the S3 dispatch mechanism, but I think unregistered S3 methods in packages are verboten. Perhaps [1] will shed some light? [1] https://blog.r-project.org/2019/08/19/s3-method-lookup/ On September 4, 2024 11:2

Re: [R-pkg-devel] unregistered S3 methods in a package

As it turned out, I was able to avoid redefining coef.merMod(), etc., by making a simple modification to the cv package. I'm still curious about whether it's OK to have unregistered S3 methods for internal use in a package even though that's no longer necessary for the cv package. On 2024-09

[R-pkg-devel] unregistered S3 methods in a package

Dear R-package-devel list members, I want to introduce several unregistered S3 methods into the cv package (code at ). These methods have the form coef.merMod <- function(object, ...) lme4::fixef(object) The object is to mask, e.g., lme4:::coef.merMod()
