Library not loading all listed functions

[IsadoraBM]

This current version requires me to type bife:::predict.bife() to access it, most functions do not load if you rely on library(bife)

Hello,

predict(object, ...) is a generic function that calls predict.bife(object, ...) if object is of class bife. Here an example:

library(bife)
df <- iris
df[["Long.Sepal"]] <- as.factor(ifelse(df[["Sepal.Length"]] > 5, "yes", "no"))
obj <- bife(Long.Sepal ~ Sepal.Width + Petal.Length + Petal.Width | Species, data = df, "logit")
predict(obj)

And all the other listed functions? Is this an issue of the newest package version or has this always been this way?

The other functions like coef, vcov, summary, ... are generics as well.

[IsadoraBM]

but predict() does not state that it supports bife. Is this why there is an error in contrasts when predicting a model on a new dataset??

[dczarnowske]

Okay, but it would be a bit hard for the core developers to keep track of all the packages that extend predict, right?

That is why predict.bife is part of our package documentary. It tells the user that you can call predict on objects of class bife, e. g. the list returned by bife().

The error is unrelated.
