Dear all, I am developing a package, which bundles my most frequently used functions. One of those is a modified version of droplevels from the base package (basically, it preserves any contrast function which was used to create the factor, contrast matrices are not kept, for they could be wrong if a level is dropped).
In my NAMESPACE file I've the following directives, which should export my methods: S3method(droplevels, factor) S3method(droplevels, data.frame) However, when I load my package and I try to use those functions, the dispatching mechanism calls the functions droplevels.factor and droplevels.data.frame from the _base package_. So, is there any way to overwrite droplevels.factor and droplevels.data.frame from the base package with my functions? Or do I have to create a generic function on my own? Thanks for your help.
