Dear R-developers community, I have the following generic: setGeneric( name="newsample", def=function(x,y,z,a,b,c,...){standardGeneric("newsample")}
And I can build several methods for this generic. One useful thing is to use "newsample" with only one of the 6 arguments listed. At the moment this is what I do: setMethod( f="newsample", signature=c("missing","missing","numeric","missing","missing","missing"), function(x,y,z,a,b,c,...) { .............................. .............................. } ) This would be used when the single argument is z: newsample(z=12.5) To use newsample with another argument (say x) I should implement the same as before, but with signature c("numeric","missing","missing","missing","missing","missing"). Is there another shorter and easier way to do this?
