I'm preparing a new release of PerformanceAnalytics, and as usual this brings the host of CRAN checks.
I get this note: * checking S3 generic/method consistency ... NOTE Found the following apparent S3 methods exported but not registered: mean.LCL mean.UCL mean.geometric mean.stderr See section 'Registering S3 methods' in the 'Writing R Extensions' manual. these are not S3 methods for 'mean', but rather helper functions that do other things related to means. These functions have been in the package for over a decade, are used in coursework at a number of universities, and we assume are in user code. So it seems that changing them would be disruptive. Now, all that said, what to do about it? We could register them as S3method{} , and I think calling them explicitly will still work, though this seems inelegant. I can't find any way to tell R that these *aren't* S3 methods ... Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Brian -- Brian G.
