Hi Gabor, i went to this link via the views link given by you, http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/VaR_0.2.tar.gz but it gives me an error when i try to open it by winzip. It gives me error message - "Error reading header after processing 0 entries" Further, As I am now also a finance grad hence i would like to join the finance team/ risk management team. Infact i wanted to ask that - Is there and control version system they use from where i can checkout a line work on it and the chckin the code again ? How to get login id and password to logon to the system ? who will provide me the access to it ? What is the language they use to write the code is it the greatest and the best among the best - 'C', i mean i want to look at the code then only i would in the position that whether i would be able to write my own package or i would like to go for enhancements/bug fixing area. etc etc.... some very basic queries thanks p.s. http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/VaR.html VaR: Value at Risk estimation A set of methods for calculation of Value at Risk (VaR) Version: 0.2 Depends: R (>= 1.4.1) Author: Talgat Daniyarov Maintainer: Talgat Daniyarov License: GPL (version 2 or higher) Downloads: Package source: VaR_0.2.tar.gz Windows binary: VaR_0.2.zip Index of contents: VaR.INDEX Reference manual: VaR.pdf Sayonara With Smile & With Warm Regards :-) G a u r a v Y a d a v Senior Executive Officer, Economic Research & Surveillance Department, Clearing Corporation Of India Limited.

Then try to put together a package to provide some part of what is missing. Read the "Writing R Extensions" manual to see what is involved in that. When the package is done, send it to CRAN, and if appropriate, write up a description of it and submit the package and description to a journal, e.g. JSS. If you want to contribute to the R internals, then you should read the development.r-project.org web page, which gives details about Subversion access to the source, etc. There's also a new manual "R Internals" which will be in 2.4.0. You won't have write permission on the repository, but you can suggest changes on the R-devel list, prepare patches, etc. Be prepared to defend the changes you suggest: R has a long history, and we're reluctant to break old code unless there's a clear benefit, and reluctant to commit to dead-ends. To get write permission on the repository you need to convince the "core" group that you should be invited to join; there are currently 17 members, and I think there are 17 conflicting criteria for membership, so I don't know any rule other than "make it obvious that it's better you're a member than not".
