[Bioc-devel] edgeR estimateGLMRobustDisp Fails when Called From A Package
Thank you. I made that change to the edgeR source code and reinstalled it, but I get another error further in my function :
Error in UseMethod("glmFit") :
no applicable method for 'glmFit' applied to an object of class "c('DGEList', 'list', 'LargeDataObject', 'vector')"
This is because of LargeDataObject from limma is not imported into edgeR. Can you add that one, too ?

Nope, because that is neither necessary nor good programming practice
(according to R core).
I will however add loessFit to importFrom() in edgeR's NAMESPACE, which I
think will solve your problem.
Best wishes
