Everyone,
I've got code in my package that uses LogitBoost from the caTools
package. caTools does not have a namespace.
My package also uses loads RWeka, which has a namespace, and also has
a function called LogitBoost.
After loading both packages, how can I be specific about running the
version from caTools (since caTools:::LogitBoost won't work)?
It's not easy. Best would be to convince caTools to add a NAMESPACE.
But as a workaround:
library(caTools)
caToolsEnv <- as.environment("package:caTools")
LogitBoost <- caToolsEnv$LogitBoost
Note that there is no guarantee that LogitBoost will actually work.
Because caTools doesn't have a NAMESPACE, there is a risk of other name
clashes causing LogitBoost to behave unpredictably.
