Hi Jeff, sorry for that! I found the problem in the meanwhile. But since I'm always grateful to get answers from the list, here's what happened:
I have a method for as.ts() setMethod(f = "as.ts", signature = "Tsi", definition = function(x, ...) { Function body }) This is the error I always got while running R CMD check Error in setMethod(f = "as.ts", signature = "Tsi", definition = function(x, : no existing definition for function "as.ts" What I was too stupid to see is the fact that as.ts() isn't a generic in the first place. Yet, I turned it into one somewhere in my code (which I forgot ;-)) and when I tried to debug my code manually I always misleadingly took it as an innate generic and wondered why R CMD check always complained about that fact that it couldn't find it.
