But as a workaround: library(caTools) caToolsEnv - as.environment(package:caTools) LogitBoost - caToolsEnv$LogitBoost Note that there is no guarantee that LogitBoost will actually work. Because caTools doesn't have a NAMESPACE, there is a risk of other name clashes causing LogitBoost to behave unpredictably.

Re: [Rd] name conflicts
Try this also: LogitBoost - get(LogitBoost, envir = as.environment(package:caTools), mode = function) On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 4:05 PM, Max Kuhn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Everyone, I've got code in my package that uses LogitBoost from the caTools package. caTools does not have a namespace.

Still, my warnings about the fragility of using a package without a NAMESPACE apply here too.
