comm2sci function not working R taxize package - r

I'm tryin to convert some common names to scientific names using taxize, but the functions are returning errors.
From the help page:
library(taxize)
comm2sci(commnames='black bear')
# Error: could not find function "comm2sci"
In addition, the sci2comm isn't working:
sci2comm(scinames='Helianthus annuus')
# Error: could not find function "sci2comm"
Ay reason they arent working? Any other way of getting scientific names in R?

Problem with analysis with special characters in getsymbols (PerformanceAnalytics)

I am trying to create a chart.correlation with the package PerformanceAnalytics. This works great like here:
if(!require("PerformanceAnalytics")) {install.packages("PerformanceAnalytics"); require("PerformanceAnalytics")}
library(PerformanceAnalytics)
#
getSymbols("AMZN",from="2016-01-01",to="2020-05-01")
getSymbols("TSLA",from="2016-01-01",to="2020-05-01")
data1<-cbind(diff(log(Cl(AMZN))),diff(log(Cl(TSLA))))
chart.Correlation(data1)
But as soon as there are special characters I get the following error:
Error: unexpected '^' in "data<-cbind(diff(log(Cl(UTDI.DE))),diff(log(Cl(^"
for the following code:
getSymbols("UTDI.DE",from="2016-01-01",to="2020-05-01")
getSymbols("^MDAXI",from="2016-01-01",to="2020-05-01")
data2<-cbind(diff(log(Cl(UTDI.DE))),diff(log(Cl(^MDAXI))))
chart.Correlation(data2)
Does anyone know how to use the special character here?

Error : could not find function "ImportMethodFrom"

I tried to run the code in Chapter 7 Data mining with R learning with case study book but I got an error in following line:
rankWorkflows(svm, maxs = TRUE)
The error was:
Error in as.character.default(X[[i]], ...) : no method for coercing
this S4 class to a vector
Then I searched on the internet and found following solution:
importMethodsFrom(GenomicRanges, as.data.frame)
and again again I got a new error:
Error: could not find function "importMethodFrom"
I searched a lot but I got nothing :(
You can try using library(sos) to find the packages where your function is located.
library(sos)
findFn("replaceherewithyourfunction")
Based on the answer of #Bea, there does not seem to be a importMethodsFrom anywhere in R. My guess is you found the call in a NAMESPACE file. Those files have different syntax than normal R scripts.
If you want to load a specific function from an R package (rather than all functions from a package), you can use libraryname::functionname instad of functionname in your code. In your case, replace as.data.frame with GenomicRanges::as.data.frame
If this does not work (for example because you don't have as.data.frame anywhere in your code), you can also load the whole GenomicRanges library with library(GenomicRanges)

Large data.tree causes plot() to error

I'm trying to build an org chart from a data.frame in r using the data.tree package.
As far as i can tell i have constructed the tree correctly, but when I try to plot() the data.tree object (which print()s fine) I get an error:

Any ideas?
I have just started using the data.frame package a couple of days ago, but came across the same problem with some of my trees - print(tree) worked but plot(tree) gave a similar error message to yours. So far, I could always resolve the issue by removing special characters like single and double quotation marks from the input data. Thus, the plot function appears to be sensitive to certain symbols or special characters ... maybe a starting point for your search for a solution?

Error: could not find function "includePackage"

I am trying to execute Random Forest algorithm on SparkR, with Spark 1.5.1 installed. I am not getting clear idea, why i am getting the error -
Error: could not find function "includePackage"
Further even if I use mapPartitions function in my code , i get the error saying -
Error: could not find function "mapPartitions"
Please find the below code:
rdd <- SparkR:::textFile(sc, "http://localhost:50070/explorer.html#/Datasets/Datasets/iris.csv",5)
includePackage(sc,randomForest)
rf <- mapPartitions(rdd, function(input) {
## my function code for RF
}
This is more of a comment and a cross question rather than an answer (not allowed to comment because of the reputation) but just to take this further, if we are using the collect method to convert the rdd back to an R dataframe, isnt that counter productive as if the data is too large, it would take too long to execute in R.
Also does it mean that we could possibly use any R package say, markovChain or a neuralnet using the same methodology.
Kindly check the functions that can be in used in sparkR http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/R/index.html
This doesn't include function mapPartitions() or includePackage()
#For reading csv in sparkR
sparkRdf <- read.df(sqlContext, "./nycflights13.csv",
"com.databricks.spark.csv", header="true")
#Possible way to use `randomForest` is to convert the `sparkR` data frame to `R` data frame
Rdf <- collect(sparkRdf)
#compute as usual in `R` code
>install.packages("randomForest")
>library(rainForest)
......
#convert back to sparkRdf
sparkRdf <- createDataFrame(sqlContext, Rdf)

How to find object 'corhelp' in r

I'm having trouble locating the packages for corhelp in R. This is what I get.
AdjMatHARD=abs(corhelp[restConnectivity,restConnectivity])>0.65+0.0
# Error: object 'corhelp' not found
Assuming you're following the code from YEAST
Gene Co-expression Network Analysis R Tutorial, corhelp is a variable defined in the code
corhelp=cor(datExpr,use="pairwise.complete.obs")
just search that page for corhelp to find it.
