Replace Biobase::`annotation<-`(eScoEset, "") by Biobase::`annotation<-`(eScoEset, value="")
why not just annotation(eScoEset) <- "" with importFrom(Biobase, "annotation<-") in the NAMESPACE?
well, my understanding of the general policy to use classes and methods defined in other packages is that i should *always* "import" them in the NAMESPACE file. however, somehow i feel more comfortable using this pkg::f() idiom when i call something defined somewhere else because just reading the code i know immediately where imported things come from. is there any reason related to performance, correctness or coding style by which you think i should not do it?
unix.time( for (i in 1:100000 ) base::sin )
user system elapsed 1.109 0.004 1.120
unix.time( for (i in 1:100000 ) sin )
user system elapsed 0.010 0.000 0.011 ymmv
thanks, robert.
