I am trying to use nlme and coxme in one Sweave document. I have read the thread in r-devel on the subject,
http://markmail.org/thread/snchg6ynofrzbf2v and nlme::fixef works, but I did not understand what workaround to use when I am calling a function in a package that I do not want to change. Dieter library(nlme) library(coxme) # hides fixef, among others deplynestedforeingpackagefunction = function(x){ # I do not want to change this function in another package fixef(x) } fit <- coxme(Surv(time, status) ~ age + (1|ph.ecog), lung) fixef(fit) fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont) nlme::fixef(fm1) # can use nlme:: # deplynestedforeingpackagefunction(fm1) #error R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252 LC_CTYPE=German_Germany.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=German_Germany.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=German_Germany.1252 attached base packages: [1] splines stats graphics grDevices datasets utils methods base other attached packages: [1] coxme_2.0 bdsmatrix_1.0 survival_2.35-8 nlme_3.1-96 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_2.10.1 lattice_0.18-3 tools_2.10.1 > ______________________________________________ [email protected] 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.
