S4对象组成不当行为?

我有以下问题(代码如下):我有两个S4类,可以通过AB来指定它们。 B类有一个名为a.list的A类对象列表。 A类有一个名为test()的方法。然后,我创建一个类型为A的对象,名为a,对象类型为Bb,然后我将a对象插入b@a.list列表。

当我提取a对象并在其中使用test方法时,会发生以下错误:

Error en function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function "test", for signature "list"

但我直接在a对象中使用该方法,一切正常。

知道我做错了吗?

提前致谢

现在,代码:

> setClass("A", representation(a="character", b="numeric"))
> a <- new("A", a="Adolfo", b = 10)
> a
An object of class "A"
Slot "a":
[1] "Adolfo"

Slot "b":
[1] 10

> print(a)
An object of class "A"
Slot "a":
[1] "Adolfo"

Slot "b":
[1] 10

> setClass("B", representation(c="character", d="numeric", a.list="list"))
> b <- new("B", c="chido", d=30, a.list=list())
> b
An object of class "B"
Slot "c":
[1] "chido"

Slot "d":
[1] 30

Slot "a.list":
list()

> b@a.list["objeto a"] <- a
> b
An object of class "B"
Slot "c":
[1] "chido"

Slot "d":
[1] 30

Slot "a.list":
$`objeto a`
An object of class "A"
Slot "a":
[1] "Adolfo"

Slot "b":
[1] 10

> setGeneric(name="test", 
+            def = function(object,...) {standardGeneric("test")}
+            )
[1] "test"

> setMethod("test", "A",
+           definition=function(object,...) {
+ cat("Doing something to an A object....\n")
+ }
+ )
[1] "test"
> b@a.list[1]
$`objeto a`
An object of class "A"
Slot "a":
[1] "Adolfo"

Slot "b":
[1] 10

> test(b@a.list[1])
Error en function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function "test", for signature "list"
> test(a)
Doing something to a....

再次感谢...

您必须使用双方括号提取列表的单个元素:

 test(b@a.list[[1]])

如果使用单方括号,则索引列表的子集,该列表仍然只是列表,而不是类A

> class(b@a.list[1])
[1] "list"

> class(b@a.list[[1]])
[1] "A"
attr(,"package")
[1] ".GlobalEnv"
