Hello,

the function 'coxreg' in my package 'eha' is often just a wrapper for 'coxph' in survival, so I have code like

    if (cox.ph){
        Call <- match.call()
        Call[[1]] <- as.name("coxph")
        fit <- eval.parent(Call)
        return(fit)
    }

which works since eha depends on survival. Now I am thinking of changing Depends to Imports, and I would like to change the code to

    if (cox.ph){
        Call <- match.call()
        Call[[1]] <- as.name("survival::coxph")
        fit <- eval.parent(Call)
        return(fit)
    }

but this doesn't work, because the function name is turned into
`survival::coxph` (with the backticks) and the evaluation fails.

How can I solve this?

Thanks, G,
