Can you tell us what you want to do with 'pass/call by reference'?
If you want an R function to alter its argument then it is possible
(KalmanLike is an example), but it should only be possible via C code.
And if you know enough to do that, you probably would not be asking (and
definitely not be asking on R-help rather than R-devel).

Can anyone help me about pass by reference of arguments in R functions?
I have read about .Alias in base package however it is defunct and there
is no replacement for it.
That's not a fair summary of the help entry for .Alias.
