R: 2 functions with the same name in 2 different packages

Question

I need to load to R packages : tseries and chron

Both have a function named is.weekend

I always have in my environment the function from the second package I

Answer 1

i had 2 packages who had same function name ts() The 2 pacckages who had the same were :

1. forecast
2. List item

I inspected what was going on by typing

?ts


Help on topic 'ts' was found in the following packages:

Time-Series Objects
(in package stats in library C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library)
Format time stamps
(in package bReeze in library C:/Users/mycomputer/Documents/R/win-library/3.6)

Solution : Then to use the function ts that comes with package forecast i used : because the help showed me that forcast was calling stats

Time-Series Objects (in package stats

stats::ts

because is saw from help that forecasts use a package called stats ;)

forecast::ts

Time-Series Objects
(in package stats

was giving me error, because forecast package was using a sub package ;

so final usage looks like this :

library(bReeze)
library(forecast)

# Subset data
my_time_series <- stats::ts(c(df_sub$y), start=2018, frequency = 12)

# Plot
theme_set(theme_classic())
ggseasonplot(my_time_series) + labs(title="My graph title")
