[Bioc-devel] edgeR estimateGLMRobustDisp Fails when Called From A Package

[Dario Strbenac]

Hello,

I never explicitly use that class in my function. I did debugging and realised what the problem is. DGEList is part of class hierarchy and it inherits from the superclass LargeDataObject 

> showClass("DGEList")
Class "DGEList" [package "edgeR"]

Slots:
           
Name:  .Data
Class:  list

Extends:
Class "list", from data part
Class "LargeDataObject", directly
Class "vector", by class "list", distance 2

That's why edgeR needs to know about that class.
