modifyMethod {SummarizedBenchmark} | R Documentation

## Modify definition of method in BenchDesign object

### Description

This function takes a BenchDesign object and the name of a method already defined in the object, and returns a modified BenchDesign object with the specified changes made only to the named method. At a minimum, a string name for the method, `label`, must be specified in addition to the primary BenchDesign object.

### Usage

    modifyMethod(bd, label, params, .overwrite = FALSE)

### Arguments

`bd` | BenchDesign object.
`label` | Character name of method to be modified.
`params` | Named quosure list created using `rlang::quos` of `parameter = value` paiars to replace in the method definition. The `post`, and `meta` parameters of the method can be modified using the special keywords, `bd.post`, and `bd.meta` (the prefix denoting that these values should modify BenchDesign parameters). All other named parameters will be added to the list of parameters to be passed to `func`.
`.overwrite` | Logical whether to overwrite the complete existing list of parameters to be passed to `func` (TRUE), or to simply add the new parameters to the existing list and only replace overlapping parameters (FALSE). (default = FALSE)

### Value

Modified BenchDesign object.

### Examples

    ## empty BenchDesign
    bench <- BenchDesign()

    ## add method
    bench <- addMethod(bench, label = "qv",
                       func = qvalue::qvalue,
                       post = function(x) { x$qvalue },
                       meta = list(note = "storey's q-value"),
                       params = rlang::quos(p = pval))

    ## modify method 'meta' property of 'qv' method
    bench <- modifyMethod(bench, label = "qv",
                          params = rlang::quos(bd.meta =
                               list(note = "Storey's q-value")))

    ## verify that method has been updated
    printMethod(bench, "qv")
