hi, I am using the package of "Fslector" which contains a function

"information.gain". I want to see the detailed code of this
function. the
result shows
information.gainfunction (formula, data)
{
information.gain.body(formula, data, type = "infogain")
}
When I then try to see the code of information.gain.body, it shows
Error: could not find function "information.gain.body".
Why cannot I get access to the codes?
You probably need to use Fslector:::information.gain.body, or (even
better) look at the source for the package, which you should be able
to get using
download.packages("Fslector", type="source", destdir=<your directory>)
I'm not educated enough to know off the top of my head whether
Fslector:::information.gain.body
... is exactly equivalent to:
getAnywhere(Fslector)
.... but typing those two function names at the console prompt makes
me think they may have some differences, but still for me they have
seemed pretty much equivalent:
`:::`
getAnywhere
The second one was recommended by Uwe Ligges in his Help Desk article
a few years back on "accessing the sources".

Can also be found at (a page with which I was unfamiliar with until
RSeek just showed it to me):

That page looks to me to be an excellent second course in R after the
"Introduction"
