R help - May 2004 - About creating an import library

Hi all,
 
First of all, I found R.exp. Thanks. The following is a paragraph I
copied from Venables and Ripley’s book “S programming” on Page242.
 
If the code calls entry points in the R engine, create an import library
from the file R.exp in the source-package distribution by
lib /def: R.exp /machine: ix386 /out: Rdll.lib
and add
Rdll.lib
to the link command or add it to the libraries to be used in the IDE. 
 
My problems are:
1. Why do we need an import library? (a very basic question)
2. What is R.exp?
3. After I copied the R.exp to C:\ and run “lib /def: R.exp /machine:
ix386 /out: Rdll.lib”, the error message showed “Cannot open Rdll.lib”
4. I am not clear about “add Rdll.lib to the link command or add it to
the libraries to be used in the IDE”.
Thanks

Hi,

I'm a newbie and am trying to figure out the following:

- I have an N x T panel of stock returns on (N stocks, T time periods), 
with some missing values
- I am able to plot the cross-sectional density of returns for a given 
time t
- I would like to create a surface plot that combines all of the cross 
sectional densities - any tips here?
- Also is there any type of kernel estimation that will smooth out this 
plot across time?  (As opposed to rougher aggregation of the individual 
density cross-sections).

Many thanks for any suggestions here.

Regards,

Jim M
