R help - Mar 1998 - R-beta: S+ toolboxes in R?

Hi,

I guess the answer is negative but I thought I would ask just
the same: is it possible to use any of the S+ toolboxes (ARCH
and wavelets, more particularly) with R?

Thanks,

PS: Please cc me any reply as I am not on the list (at least not yet).

I don't know for sure (we don't ``want to'' afford these ..),
but I assume all of these are relying on compiled code, the source of which
is not available.

If this was not true, there would be some chance that (some) of their
functions run flawlessly in R.
Actually, (almost) all the graphics which relies on Trellis doesn't work
either in R.

For wavelets, there is a free wavelets package (of Guy Nason) on Statlib.
This should be portable more or less easily to R.

For ARCH, you may get a (very) partial solution, by using Paul Gilbert's
DSE library (available from <<CRAN>>/src/contrib/devel/dse* )
