Re: [R] Batch mode problem: figure margins too large (code corrected for word wrap)

2005-05-13 Thread Uwe Ligges
I'd like to recommend to open the pdf() device (and to plot in) 
directly. There is no reason to use the windows() device in BATCH mode, 
if you want to produce PDF.

[R] [R-pkgs] new version of package:mvbutils

2005-05-13 Thread Mark.Bravington
There is a new version of the 'mvbutils' package (v1.1.1) available on
CRAN.

For existing users, the main new features are:

(i) 'help' now works properly with with R2.0+ (!)
(ii) 'mvbutils' is now NAMESPACEd, so you can avoid naming conflicts
with other packages. (Many functions are no longer user-visible.
(iii) Lazy-loading of individual objects is now available. Among other
things, this speeds up the use of 'cd' immensely with workspaces that
contain large objects.
(iv) better-organized interactions between 'history' and 'cd'.

For new users, the main features of 'mvbutils' are:

  * Hierarchical organization of projects and sub-projects, allowing
switching within a single R session, searching and moving objects
through the hierarchy, objects in ancestor projects always visible from
child (sub)projects, etc.

  * Improved function editing facilities, interfacing with whichever
text editor you prefer. The R command line is not frozen while editing,
and you can have multiple edit windows open. There is also a complete
automatic backup system, with (as a side-effect) the ability to sort
objects by date.

  * Lazy loading for individual objects, allowing fast  efficient
access to collections of biggish objects where only a few objects are
used at a time.

  * Support for flat-format (plain-text) documentation, stored along
with a function and editable at the same time, and viewable through
normal 'help'. Automatic conversion to Rd format is available if certain
rules are followed.

  * Support for nesting of 'source' calls, and for interspersing R code
and data in the same file.

  * Support for easy macro-like functions which act in their caller's
environment (see also RNews 1/3), and for dynamically scoped
functions.

  * Graphical display of which functions call which other functions.

  * numerous other lower-level utility functions and operators.

Please let me know of any comments and bug reports.

[R] [R-pkgs] new version of package:debug

2005-05-13 Thread Mark.Bravington
There is a new version of the 'debug' package (v1.1.0) available on
CRAN. For existing users, the main changes are (i) some bug fixes, and
(ii) it is now NAMESPACEd, so you can avoid naming conflicts with other
packages.

For new users, 'debug' is an alternative to 'trace' and 'browser',
offering:

*  a visible code window with line-numbered code and highlighted
execution point;

*  the ability to set (conditional) breakpoints in advance, at
any line number;

*  the opportunity to keep going after errors;

*  multiple debugging windows open at once (when one debuggee
calls another, or itself);

*  full debugging of 'on.exit' code;

*  the ability to move the execution point around without
executing intervening statements;

*  direct interpretation of typed-in statements, as if they were
in the function itself.

See R-news 3.3 for an article on using this package.

Please let me know of any comments and bug reports.

Re: [R] Problem with data frame when using xYplot?

2005-05-13 Thread Sander Oom
Problem solved!
I was so focused on reproducing the plotmeans() functionality with 
xYplot() that I completely overlooked the fact that my data does not 
allow a x-y plot, as only Sodium is a numeric variable while Position 
and AltGeo are factors!

Using unclass() to make Position a numeric variable does the trick:
tmp$Position - unclass(tmp$Position)
The code below does the trick. Now I only need to figure out how to 
tweak the x axis to pretend I am plotting a factor, i.e. plotting labels 
Inside and Outside.

[R] DEV2bitmap: jpeg with res=400 not enough for CORELDRAW poster A0

2005-05-13 Thread Jan Verbesselt
Dear all,

When saving a plot with the dev2bitmap command:

name- c(test.jpeg)
dev2bitmap(name,type=jpeg,height=8,width=13,res=400)

Everything seems to be ok... After importing this picture in CORELDRAW (for
a poster A0) format the resolution and colors are not optimal.

How can I save pictures (colors/resolution) optimally for import into
CorelDraw for an A0 poster?

Pdf?/tiff?/bmp?/

Thanks,
Jan

RE: [R] Using R to illustrate the Central Limit Theorem

2005-05-13 Thread Bliese, Paul D LTC USAMH
Interesting thread. The graphics are great, the only thing that might be
worth doing for teaching purposes would be to illustrate the original
distribution that is being averaged 1000 times.

Below is one option based on Bill Venables code.  Note that to do this I
had to start with a k of 2.

N - 1
 for(k in 2:20) {
graphics.off()
par(mfrow = c(2,2), pty = s)
hist(((runif(k))-0.5)*sqrt(12*k),main=Example Distribution 1)
hist(((runif(k))-0.5)*sqrt(12*k),main=Example Distribution 2)
m - replicate(N, (mean(runif(k))-0.5)*sqrt(12*k))
hist(m, breaks = FD, xlim = c(-4,4), main = k,
prob = TRUE, ylim = c(0,0.5), col = lemonchiffon)
pu - par(usr)[1:2]
x - seq(pu[1], pu[2], len = 500)
lines(x, dnorm(x), col = red)
qqnorm(m, ylim = c(-4,4), xlim = c(-4,4), pch = ., col = blue)
abline(0, 1, col = red)
Sys.sleep(3)
  }

By the way, I should probably know this but what is the logic of the
sqrt(12*k) part of the example?  Obviously as k increases the mean
will approach .5 in a uniform distribution, so runif(k)-.5 will be close
to zero, and sqrt(12*k) increases as k increases.  Why 12, though?

Subject: Re: [R] Using R to illustrate the Central Limit Theorem

This thread was very timely for me since I will be teaching an
introductory
biostats course in the fall, including a session on CLT. I have
shamelessly
taken Dr. Venables' slick piece of code and wrapped it in a function so
that
I can vary the maximum sample size at will. I then created functions
based
on the first to sample from the exponential and the
chi-squaredistributions.
Lastly, I created a function to sample from a pdf with a parabolic shape
(confirming in the process just how rusty my calculus is :-) ). My code
is
below for all to do with as they please.

Now, at the risk of asking a really obvious question ...

In my final function, I used the inverse probability integral
transformation
to sample from my parabolic distribution. I create a local function
rparab
shown here:

rparab - function(nn) {
u - 2*runif(nn) - 1
ifelse(u0,-(abs(u)^(1/3)),u^(1/3))
}

It seems that in my version of R (2.0.1) on Linux, that calculating the
cube
root of a negative number using ^(1/3) returns NaN. I looked at the help
in
the arithmetic operators and did help.search(cube root), 
help.search(root)
and help.search(cube) and recognised no alternatives. So I used an 
ifelse() to
deal with the negatives. Have I missed something really elementary?

Thanks

Re: [R] DEV2bitmap: jpeg with res=400 not enough for CORELDRAW poster A0

  Pdf?/tiff?/bmp?/
 
 What about PostScript? It's perfectly resizable and CorelDraw (at
 least the outdated version 10) can deal with it.

But not PDF? Notice that this is not really bitmapped either, even
though handled by dev2bitmap. 

Upping the res= is another option, but may be memory intensive. Notice
that A0 is 4 times as big as A4 (~8x12 inches) so you'd need up to 4
times the resolution - but I guess that your plot is not taking up the
whole area...

[R] SVM linear kernel and SV

2005-05-13 Thread David Meyer
 Thank you for your answer,
 but my problem concerns the support vectors. Indeed the two classes
 are well separated and the hyperplane is linear but the support
 vectors aren't aligned in parallel to the hyperplane. And according to
 me,  the support vectors (for each class) should be aligned along the
 linear hyperplane and form the marge (by definition). But it's not the
 case. In fact,  I'd like to understand why they are not aligned. 

Remember the `cost'-penalty controlling for overlapping classes. It has
some effect even in the linearly separable case causing more SVs than
would actually be needed. Try adding e.g. `cost=1000' and you will
obtain a result with only 2 SVs (why not 3? Because 2 SVs here solve the
optimization problem. So in fact the hyperplane in this case is not
uniquely defined, although only in a small range.)

Best,

David

Re: [R] Using R to illustrate the Central Limit Theorem

2005-05-13 Thread Kevin E. Thorpe
The variance of U[0,1] is 1/12. So the variance of the mean of uniforms 
is 1/12k.
Rather than dividing by 1/12k he multiplied by 12k.

will approach .5 in a uniform distribution, so runif(k)-.5 will be close

[R] Big matrix memory problem

Re: [R] Using R to illustrate the Central Limit Theorem

Thanks. I'd forgotton that detail about ifelse. Also, I was so focused 
on the U[0,1] it totally did not occur to me to go direct from U[-1,1]. 
Your suggestion should obviate the need for a local function at all.

It seems that in my version of R (2.0.1) on Linux, that calculating the cube
root of a negative number using ^(1/3) returns NaN. I looked at the help in
the arithmetic operators and did help.search(cube root),
help.search(root)
and help.search(cube) and recognised no alternatives. So I used an
ifelse() to
deal with the negatives. Have I missed something really elementary?
   

Not really. You might have used u - runif(nn,-1,1) and
sign(u)*abs(u)^(1/3) instead of the ifelse construct (remember that
ifelse generally evaluates both the 'yes' and 'no' parts and on some
architectures the NaN results may be slow to compute).

Given the matrices are numeric, you will need 256*1000*1000*8 = 2Gb of 
memory just to hold them in memory, in order to apply calculations, 
objects are frequently doubled ...
So you should really handle those matrices separately, either by getting 
them from a database or by saving them in form of separate Rdata objects.

It is possible in R, but you will need a 64-bit version of R.  Since you
don't state your OS, my guess is it is Windows or MacOS, for neither of
which we have a 64-bit port as yet.

Why do you think that.

I easilly read files from data logging equipment.

 60min*24h*15days*130variables from text file which has 
[1] 2808000 items

just by read.table() in few whiles on quite old (4 years) and not 
superbly equipped PC (1G memory). 

So you can read your matrices sequentially. But if you want to 
work with all 256 matrices at once it could be problem.

Depends on what you want to do with them.

The reason is indeed simple! In demonstrating the convergence
of the distribution of mean(k X's) to a Normal distribution,
the reference (i.e. the limiting distribution) is N(0,1), which
has mean 0 and variance 1. Therefore, in comparing the distribution
of mean(k X's) with N(0,1) it needs to be standardised to itself
have mean 0 and variance 1. As you've already spotted, you
standardise for the mean by subtracting 0.5; to standardise
for the variance you need to divide by sqrt(variance(mean(k X's))).

This is sqrt(variance(X)/k). Finally (and this is where the 12
comes in), the variance of an X uniformly distributed on (0,1)
is 1/12 (left as an exercise for the reader ... ). Hence 12*k.

Best wishes,
Ted.

[R] Lattice plot within a for loop does not happen?

I am trying to do a series of xyplots plots, using a for loop to  
substitute the appropriate variables for each plot. The basic command  
works fine by itself and produces a nice plot:

 i-3
  trellis.device(theme=col.whitebg)
  xyplot(as.formula(paste(tmp00[2*i], ~ , tmp00[(2*i)-1],
+ |Blastomere+Phenotype, sep=)),
+ data=tmp1,
+ panel=function(x,y,...){
+   panel.xyplot(jitter(x), jitter(y), pch=16, col=red)
+   if (max(x, na.rm=T)!=0.0) panel.xyplot(x, y, type=r,  
lwd=2)
+})


BUT, when I stick this in a loop, I get a bunch of blank graphics  
devices. This happens even if the loop only executes once. I could  
just go through and do these one by one, but I was curious if I was  
overlooking something obvious. Thank you for any advice.

Hello,

I am using projection pursuit regression parameters selection.
Does anyone has experience on the range to test for df parameter (spline 
kernel) and gcvpen (gcvspline kernel)?
I don't find any information about this.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [R] Lattice plot within a for loop does not happen?

Hi

many times answered. Just enter

lattice loop R

into Google and you are there

Explicite printing lattice object is what you need.

 You're overlooking something like line 800 of the documentation for 
xyplot:

 Value:
 An object of class ``trellis''. The `update' method can be used to
 update components of the object and the `print' method (usually
 called by default) will plot it on an appropriate plotting device.
 xyplot doesn't actually make any marks on the screen. Oh no. It 
returns an object. You have to make that object make the marks on the 
screen. This happens automatically when you run something interactively, 
but not inside a function.

 So wrap your xyplot call in a print() function inside your loop:
 for(i in 1:10){
   print(xyplot(whatever))
 }
 Its probably in the R-FAQ as well, since my original feeling was that 
this behaviour was chosen in order to confuse people and see how many 
people read the FAQ... :)

Baz, actually, printing happens only under two circumstances, AFAIK:
1. by wrapping in print()
2. automatically by evaluating an expression (which might be the object 
name only) in the top level (R_GlobalEnv), but only if no assignment 
takes place.

In particular, automatical (point 2 above) printing happens also in 
non-interactive sessions like
  R CMD BATCH
calls.

The idea of returning an object is very nice, I think. You can calculate 
on the object and print the modified object (well, in fact, I rarely use 
lattice myself, though).

[R] Lowest data level since DateX

2005-05-13 Thread Lapointe, Pierre
Hello,

I'm dealing with financial time series.  I'm trying to find out X in this
sentence:
The most recent close is the lowest level since X(date).

Here's an example of what I'm looking for:

library(fBasics)
data(DowJones30)
tail(DowJones30[,1:5],n=10)

I need to come up with a vector that would look like this

AA AXP  T...
2000-12-21 2000-12-20   2000-12-29

i.e. the last date at which the stocks were trading at a lower level than
the most recent closing.

I know it has to do with min/max, pmin/pmax, cummin/cummax or rev(), but I
can't figure it out.

Any help?

Here are two possibilities:

1. Copy the input files into whatever directory you want using
file.copy and then setwd to that directory and run texi2dvi.
Afterwards delete the copied files using file.remove and setwd
back.  See
?file.copy
?file.remove
?setwd

2. Create a batch file to do the same
thing and then use the texi2dvi= argument of texi2dvi
or set it via options so that the R texi2dvi uses that batch file 
rather than the real texi2dvi.  see ?texi2dvi and ?options

In this simple function, how can I pass strings for index and column names
to the function?  I've posted this type of question before and received no
response.

Maybe this example will be easier to understand and troubleshoot.

ds - function(myds, vec) {myds[[vec]]*2}

ds1 - c(X=list(1:10), Y=list(11:20))

ds(get(ds1),get(Y))

[R] manipulating dataframe according to the values of some columns

2005-05-13 Thread zhihua li
hi netters,
I'm a newbie to R and there are some very simple problems puzzeled me for 
two days.

I've a dataframe here with several columns different in modes. Two of the 
columns are special for me: column 1 has the mode factor and column 2 has 
the mode numeric vectors.
The values for column 1 are either T or F. I wanna do two things:
Firstly, remove those rows whose values for column 1 are F;
Secondly,sort the rows in the ascending order of values for column 2.

I believe the code to do these things is simple. But I can't figure it out. 
Please help me!

Thanks a lot!

Re: [R] Lattice plot within a for loop does not happen?

   You're overlooking something like line 800 of the documentation for
 xyplot:

As well as the much much shorter help(Lattice), which has: 

Note:

 High level Lattice functions (like 'xyplot') are different from
 conventional S graphics functions because they don't actually draw
 anything. Instead, they return an object of class ``trellis''
 which has to be then 'print'ed. This often causes confusion when
 the high level functions are called inside another function (most
 often 'source') and hence don't produce any output.

This page is pointed to from every conceivable place, including the 
Description, which says:

Description:   Implementation of Trellis Graphics. See ?Lattice for a
   brief introduction


 [...]

   So wrap your xyplot call in a print() function inside your loop:

   for(i in 1:10){
 print(xyplot(whatever))
   }

   Its probably in the R-FAQ as well, since my original feeling was that
 this behaviour was chosen in order to confuse people and see how many
 people read the FAQ... :)

No comments on that :)

However, let's say I want to use pseudo-random numbers to study the behaviour 
of sample correlation in uncorrelated observations. To this end, I do:

 cor(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
[1] 0.3899596

I do it a few more times:

 cor(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
[1] 0.6481215
 cor(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
[1] -0.02100718
 cor(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
[1] -0.01141006

but then I get tired and try:

 for (i in 1:10) {
+   cor(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
+ }



resulting in nothing!!! 

Strange how no one ever (or at least any more) complains about this behavour, 
which should be exactly as ``confusing''. 

The upshot, of course, can be summarized by a now famous observation made 
slightly more than a decade ago:

Not elegant but works

[R] randomForest partialPlot x.var through function

2005-05-13 Thread Eric Archer
All,
I'm trying to set up a function which calls the partialPlot function but 
am getting an error that I can't seem to solve.  Here's a simplified 
version of the function and error...

 pplot - 
function(rf,pred.var){partialPlot(x=rf,pred.data=acoust,x.var=pred.var)}

 attach(acoust)
 acoust.rf - 
randomForest(VocalTF~Cruise+Spot+Spin+Delph+Stripe+Steno+Turs+Gramp+Lags+
+   Lisso+FerPsu+Glob+mixspotspin+mixother+mixed+Size,
+   data=acoust,importance=TRUE,keep.forest=TRUE)
 cruise.pp - pplot(acoust.rf,Cruise)
Error in [.data.frame(pred.data, , xname) :
   undefined columns selected

Here's the traceback call...
 traceback()
6: stop(undefined columns selected)
5: [.data.frame(pred.data, , xname)
4: pred.data[, xname]
3: partialPlot.randomForest(x = rf, pred.data = acoust, x.var = pred.var)
2: partialPlot(x = rf, pred.data = acoust, x.var = pred.var)
1: pplot(acoust.rf, Cruise)
From the partialPlot help file, the pred.data[, xname] seems to apply 
to the n.pt argument which reads, if 'x.var' is continuous, the 
number of points on the grid for evaluating partial dependence.

It is not clear to me what xname is or where it is defined.  If it is 
supposed to be x.var where does it get assigned?  I've tried 
help.search(xname) to no useful avail that I could tell.
Second, in my case, acoust$Cruise is a factor and the line

 cruise.pp - partialPlot(acoust.rf,acoust,Cruise)
produces the proper plot.
Which leads me to belive that I'm doing something wrong in how I'm 
passing Cruise through pred.var in the function call to x.var, but 
I can't figure out how to properly correct it.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

What I wanted was to pass string values for both the list name and the

I incorrectly stated that Douglas Grove's solution would not work.  (I had

The results below are the expected results which I probably should have

I would not post questions if I had not read the posting guide.   I spent

[R] cluster results using fanny

2005-05-13 Thread Barbara Diaz
Hi,

I am using fanny and I have estrange results. I am wondering if
someone out there can help me understand why this happens.

First of all in most of my tries, it gives me a result in which each
object has equal membership in all clusters. I have read that that
means the clustering is entirely fuzzy. Looking at the graphics it
is really difficult to understand how objects with so different scores
for the variables have the same membership for all the clusters.

I also find estrange the fact that if I set K=3 (three clusters), it

then when it gives the closest hard clustering they only belong to
cluster 1 or 2, but none of them to cluster three. The plot shows only
two clusters (also the silhouette plot, even if it gives in the
silhouette plot information the silhouette width for the three
clusters.

Then, for the same data I set k=4 and surprisingly, it gives
membership for the four of them (this time they are not all the same)
and when it gives the closest hard clustering they only belong to
cluster 1, 2, or 3 but none of them to cluster 4. The plot shows only
three clusters (also the silhouette plot, even if it gives in the
silhouette plot information the silhouette width for the four

k=3??

For k=5 it gives all the information and then it only plots 2 clusters.

This is very confusing. Also, if there is equal membership for all the
clusters, how is it that I have a closest hard clustering? and a
neighbor?

Thank you in advance,

Re: [R] Conflict between xtable and Hmisc when using Sweave?

2005-05-13 Thread Sander Oom
Dear Frank,
I have a Sweave document in which I export anova (aov) tables to Latex 
and calculate some summary statistics with summarize{Hmisc} for a graph 
(as in the example below).

I currently use the following code for the aov tables:
results=tex=
  tmp - datGrassHC[datGrassHC$Loc  0  datGrassHC$Loc  9 ,]
  tmpAov - aov(Height~Geology*Altitude*Origin*BinInOut , data=tmp)
  tmpTable - xtable (tmpAov ,
caption=ANOVA table for vegetation height.,
label=tab:AnovaHeight
)
  print.xtable(tmpTable, type=latex, floating=TRUE,
table.placement=ht, caption.placement=top,
latex.environments=c(center))
)
@
I used xtables, because it has a working aov example. I would be happy 
to use an alternative if I knew how! Would you have sample code to 
illustrate how to export an aov table to Latex using latex{Hmisc}.

Thanks very much for your help,
Sander.

RE: [R] manipulating dataframe according to the values of some columns

2005-05-13 Thread Francisco J. Zagmutt
Hi Zhihua
Try the following:
dat=data.frame(x=rep(c(T,F),10),y=(runif(20)))#Creates data frame like 
in your example
newdat=dat[dat$x==T,] #includes only rows with variable x equal to T
newdat=newdat[order(newdat[,y], decreasing=FALSE),]# sorts in ascending 
order the newdat #data by the values of y.  Notice that the default is 
order(decreasing=FALSE) but I added that argument so you can see that you 
can also sort descending.

Another alternative to the second line of code is to use the higher level 
function subset() i.e.:
newdat=subset(dat, x==T,select=c(x,y))#again, the select argument is 
optional in this example but I added it so you can see how you can select 
specific coumns for your subset.

I hope that this helps

Subject: [R] manipulating dataframe according to the values of some columns
Date: Fri, 13 May 2005 15:43:20 +
hi netters,
I'm a newbie to R and there are some very simple problems puzzeled me for 
two days.

I've a dataframe here with several columns different in modes. Two of the 
columns are special for me: column 1 has the mode factor and column 2 has 
the mode numeric vectors.
The values for column 1 are either T or F. I wanna do two things:
Firstly, remove those rows whose values for column 1 are F;
Secondly,sort the rows in the ascending order of values for column 2.

I believe the code to do these things is simple. But I can't figure it out. 
Please help me!

Thanks a lot!

It doesn't mix S3 and S4 but the Matrix package is a large package based
on S4 that does show the use of S4 and a NAMESPACE.  On a smaller scale,
the lme4 package also uses S4 and a NAMESPACE.

[R] clustering

2005-05-13 Thread Amir Safari
Hi Every body,
 In order to deal with nonstationary problem in time series, may be  firstly 
clustering algorithms are used to partition time series .Then another algorithm 
is used to predict future value based on  segmented data in the second phase. 
Using clustering algorithms , the time structure and arrangement of time 
series is confused. We have some partitions including data unrelated to the 
time at hand. A question which arises here is that: lossing the time 
arrangement of time series is not a new problem?  can we forecast the future 
based on segmented  confused clusters? What am i missing? 
 
Have a nice
Amir

[R] multinom(): likelihood of model?

2005-05-13 Thread Brooks Miner
Hi all,
I'm working on a multinomial (or polytomous) logistic regression 
using R and have made great progress using multinom() from the nnet 
library.  My response variable has three categories, and there are two 
different possible predictors.  I'd like to use the likelihoods of 
certain models (ie, saturated, fitteds, and null) to calculate 
Nagelkerke R-squared values for various fitted models.

My question today is simple: once I have fitted a model using 
multinom(), how do I find the likelihood (or log likelihood) of my 
fitted model?  I understand that this value must be part of the 
$deviance or $AIC components of the fitted model, but my understanding 
is too limited at this point for me to know how to calculate the 
likelihood of my fitted model from either of these outputs.

Thanks in advance to any assistance offered.  I'd be happy to provide 
an example of my data and multinom() entries if that would help.

Gratefully,
- Brooks

Given the complex looping it would be better if you provided
documentation with your post and a reproducible example, not
just a code snippet.  See the posting guide.

At any rate, it seems that what you want to do is to append 1
whenever the settle price exceeds the high of the last w
time points and a -1 whenever the settle price is below the low of
the last w time points.

Represent the prices as a zoo series with 3 columns: 
high, low, settle and use the following (untested) loop-free
code:

high - 1; low - 2; settle - 3
W - w+1
r - rapply(prices, W, function(x) 
sign(x[W,settle]  max(x[-W,high])) - (x[W,settle]  min(x[-W,low])),
by.column = FALSE, align = right)

Re: [R] help with eval

2005-05-13 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
The scope of variables within show.a is not affected by the environment
that show.a is called in.  The scope of the variables in show.a
is determined by the lexical scope of show.a although you can change 
this via:

  environment(show.a) - my.env
  show.a() # 200

If you want to create a function that has dynamic (i.e. scope is the caller), 
rather than lexical scope, do this:

   show2.a - function() { 
  show2.a - function() a 
  environment(show2.a) - parent.frame()
  show2.a()
   }
  evalq(show2.a(), my.env) # 200

or you can create a function which evaluates its body in the parent.frame:

   show3.a - function() eval.parent(substitute(a))
   evalq(show3.a(), my.env) # 200

Also, depending on what you actually want to do, the proto package
may be applicable.

Re: [R] multinom(): likelihood of model?

By definition, the deviance is minus twice the maximized log-likelihood

model predicts exactly, so the const is zero.

There are worked examples in MASS4, the book multinom() supports.
