Deprecated Functions

Description

These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions of R only, and may be defunct as soon as of the next release.

Usage

.Deprecated(new)
.Alias(expr)
reshapeWide(x, i = reshape.i,
             j = reshape.j,
             val = reshape.v,
             jnames = levels(j))

reshapeLong(x,jvars,  ilev = row.names(x),
             jlev = names(x)[jvars],
             iname = "reshape.i",
             jname = "reshape.j",
             vname = "reshape.v")

Details

.Deprecated("<new name>") is called from deprecated functions. The original help page for these functions is available at help("oldName-deprecated") (note the quotes).

.Alias provided an unreliable way to create duplicate references to the same object. There is no direct replacement. Where multiple references to a single object are required for semantic reasons consider using environments or external pointers. There are some notes on http://developer.r-project.org.

reshape*, which were experimental, are replace by reshape. This has a different syntax and allows multiple time-varying variables. See reshapeLong-deprecated and reshapeWide-deprecated for the earlier syntax.
