Re: [Rd] Dispatch mechanism seems to alter object before calling method on it

Factors and data.frames are not structures, because they must have a class attribute. Just call them "objects". They are higher level than structures, which in practice just shape data without adding a lot of semantics. Compare getClass("matrix") and getClass("factor"). I agree that inheritance

[Rd] Date method of as.POSIXct does not respect tz

R 3.5.0 Is it intended that the Date method of as.POSIXct does not respect the tz parameter? I suggest changing as.POSIXct.Date to this: function (x, tz = "", ...) .POSIXct(unclass(x) * 86400, tz = tz) Currently, the best workaround seems to be using the character method if one doesn't

Dear Martin, I am starting using BiocInstaller. Regarding the BiocManager::valid(), would it be possible to retrieve a list with one element being a vector of the packages to update? or to run BiocManager() as we do with biocLite()? I would find it easier then copying/pasting the suggested

[Rd] xtfrm documentation typo

I believe there is a typo in the documentation to base::xtfrm, in the file xtfrm.Rd: Under Details, it says: "... The \code{\link[survival]{Surv}} method sorts first on times and then on status code(s), finally on \code{timme2} if present. ...". I believe timme2 should be replaced by time2,
