Hi Mateo,
not sure if I totally get what you're after, but maybe this helps:
SharpeRatio.annualized <- function(roc){
print("I'm computing the Sharpe Ratio")
return(9999)
}
MyF <- function(Tic, price){
print("Option 1")
expr <- expression(Ratio.Tic <- SharpeRatio.annualized(roc))
print(expr)
eval(expr)
print(Ratio.Tic)
rm(Ratio.Tic)
print("Option 2")
expr <- paste("Ratio.", quote(Tic), " <-
SharpeRatio.annualized(roc)", sep="")
print(expr)
eval(parse(text=expr))
print(Ratio.Tic)
rm(Ratio.Tic)
print("Option 3")
frmls <- formals("MyF")
expr <- sapply(names(frmls), function(x){
expr <- substitute(NAME <- SharpeRatio.annualized(roc),
list(NAME=as.name(paste("Ratio", x, sep="."))))
return(expr)
})
print(expr)
sapply(expr, eval, envir=environment())
print("Ratio.Tic")
print(Ratio.Tic)
print("Ratio.price")
print(Ratio.price)
}
MyF()
Have fun with R!
Regards,
Janko
