[R] confint.glm in a function

[Liaw, Andy]

You actually don't need to load the package first:

> MASS:::confint.glm
function (object, parm, level = 0.95, trace = FALSE, ...) 
{
    pnames <- names(coef(object))
    if (missing(parm)) 
        parm <- seq(along = pnames)
    else if (is.character(parm)) 
        parm <- match(parm, pnames, nomatch = 0)
    cat("Waiting for profiling to be done...\n")
    object <- profile(object, which = parm, alpha = (1 - level)/4, 
        trace = trace)
    confint(object, parm = parm, level = level, trace = trace, 
        ...)
}
<environment: namespace:MASS>
> search()
[1] ".GlobalEnv"       "package:methods"  "package:stats"
"package:graphics"
[5] "package:utils"    "Autoloads"        "package:base"
