Thanks Duncan, Spencer, To clarify, the situation is:
1) I have no reasons to choose S3 on S4 or vice versa, or any other coding convention 2) Our group has not done any OO developing in R and I would be the first, so I can set up the standards 3) I am starting from scratch with a new package, so I do not have any code I need to re-use. 4) I am an R OO newbie, so whatever I can learn from the beginning what is better and good for me. So the questions would be two: 1) What coding style guide should we / I follow? Is the google style guide good, or is there something better / more prescriptive which makes our research group life easier? 2) What class type should I use? From what you two say, I should use S3 because is easier to use .... what are the disadvantages? Is there an advantages / disadvantages table for S3 and S4 classes?
