[R-pkg-devel] no visible binding for '<<-' assignment note

[Max Turgeon]

Hi Weimin,


From the R docs, if there is no visible binding for the deep assignment, meaning there is the variable "dnormfun" not already defined in the parent environment, then an assignment is made in the global assignment. Is this really what you want to do, define a function "dnormfun" that is available in the user's global environment? If yes, then you'll need to make a case for it in your CRAN submision comments. If no, then you can probably just change "<<-" to "<-".


Best,

Subject: [R-pkg-devel] no visible binding for '<<-' assignment note

Dear all,
In the last submission of my package the CRAN gave this note: "Check: R code for possible problems, Result: NOTE: no visible binding for '<<-' assignment..."

How can I bypass this note?

This is the local function which cause this note:
  dnormfun <<- function(muvalue, sigmavalue, aNumber = gridY[i] ){
    force(aNumber)​
    ansvalue=dnorm(aNumber,muvalue,sqrt(sigmavalue))​
    return(ansvalue)​
  }​

The package can run normally at my machine. Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Weimin
