I'm confused about name spaces. This morning I installed the boot package because I wanted to look at bca.ci. So I did library(boot), but then I had,
> bca.ci Error: Object "bca.ci" not found I had a look in the boot R directory and bca.ci was there as expected. So then I took a look at the NAMESPACE file for the boot package and saw that bca.ci wasn't exported. I tried example(boot.ci) and this worked fine including computing the bca.ci version of some intervals. Finally, I read the section on name spaces in Writing R extensions, which was very helpful but still didn't answer my basic question: how is it that bca.ci is not loaded and still available to do the example? And why not export bca.ci and friends? platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch sparc os solaris2.8 system sparc, solaris2.8 status Under development (unstable) major 1 minor 8.0 year 2003 month 07 day 26 language R url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/my.html Roger Koenker email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Economics vox: 217-333-4558 University of Illinois fax: 217-244-6678 Champaign, IL 61820 ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
