Dear all,


it's called a *package* which is installed within a library.

The "file" you are talking about is called NAMESPACE. It is used to configure whether a package has a namespace and which functions are exported etc.

I by myself do not know much more. There are more info in the R-ext.pdf (R extensions).

Right, that manual is called "Writing R Extensions".



Probably you have to add your new function name to this file.

Why do you edit code in a binary version of a package?

Either use your own pacakges to add functionality or, if really required, change the code of other packages in the packages' sources and install from sources again (preferably under a different name in order not to mess up with the original package).

I had quit q() R, reloaded and loaded ipred anew. Trying
detach(package:ipred) makes no difference. I added a few pointless lines to
one existing function and can see these when I call the function, passing

is this just some mysterious problem with my computer/ setup/ files?? not
R??

Have you executed first
detach(package:library)
before loading the library again?

hello

I am returning to some libraries that I had previously customised by
amongst
other things adding additional functions. I had simply typed these new
functions into the file in library/R/thelibrary. These however do not

seem


to be loaded now as they previously were under older versions of R.

What's changed and what do i need to do?

Thanks
Stephen
