It is not a pure R question,but I hope some one can give me advices.

I want to get the logLik to calculate McFadden.R2 ,ML.R2 and Cragg.Uhler.R2, but the value from multinom does not have logLik.So my quetion is : is logLik meaningful to multinomial logistic model from multinom?If it does, how can I get it? Thank you! ps: I konw VGAM has function to get the multinomial logistic model with logLik, but I prefer use the function from "official" R

I have a string vector like these: [1] "1-1-1" "1-1-2" "1-2-1" And I wanna replace the second "-" with "0", that is, I wanna get the result like: [1] "1-101" "1-102" "1-201".

On top of that, knowledge of another (SQL)
