I'd like to push a function inside a package namespace so it can access internal objects of that package (let's use stats package as an example). I've tried using myfun <- function(x) print(x) env = loadNamespace("stats") assign("myfun", myfun , env) But it is locked. So I've tried to unlock my object unlockBinding("myfun", env) Since myfun doesn't exist yet, I can't unlock it. Any help ? Mark Bravington Along the line of @Hadley's solution, but using the environment of the namespace, how about: environment(myfun) <- asNamespace('stats') Why not just set the environment of your new function to

Is it possible to include .R files in the data directory of my package in the roxygen process? I have put several .R files in the data directory. When they are sourced with data(), they read in raw data files and perform some transformations. Roxygen can be used anywhere within an R file (in other words, it doesn't have to be followed by a function). It can also be used to document any docType in the R documentation. So you can just document your data in a separate block (something like this): #' This is data to be included in my package #' #' @name data-name #' @docType data #' @author My

I would like to create a local R package repository such that users in my company can install packages from it and the system admins can update the local repo periodically. Access to the CRAN mirrors is currently denied. Is there a simple way to do this? Dirk Eddelbuettel Yes, either a copy of CRAN or a repo with local packages is easy to set up. Presumably you want this for Windows so do this: Create a top-level directory on your webserver, say R/ Create the usual hierarchy in there: R/bin/windows/contrib/2.11 . If you need to support other (earlier) releases, simply create directories 2.10 ,

I'm trying to download data from Yahoo using this code: library(quantmod) getSymbols("WOW", auto.assign=F) This has worked for me in the past in every occasion except now, 5 days before my group assignment is due. Except now I receive this error: Error in download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, : cannot download all files In addition: Warning message: In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, : URL 'https://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv? s=WOW&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=4&e=17&f=2017&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=WOW&x=.csv': status was '502 Bad Gateway' The

Could you suggest me a way for loading packages in R automatically? I mean, I want to start a session in R without needing to use library('package name') several times. Suppose I downloaded all packages I'll want to use the next time I start R. Put library(foo) in your .Rprofile file or set R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES : see ?Rprofile ... In particular (because ?Rprofile is long and potentially intimidating): If you want a different set of packages than the default ones when you start, insert a call to ‘options’ in the ‘.Rprofile’ or ‘Rprofile.site’ file. For example, ‘options(defaultPackages =
