R help - Feb 2006 - Error in RBloomberg

Hello R-Experts,

 

Currently I'm using "RBloomberg" package in R-2.2.1 in Windows
machine (
XP). When I'm running one specific example using blpGetData given in
help file I'm getting the following error message.

 

conn <- blpConnect()

 

edb <- blpGetData(conn, "ED1 Comdty", "PX_LAST",

     start=chron("1/1/06"), end=chron("1/31/06"))

 

The error message: Error in any (origin(chronDate) != orig) : couldn't
find function "origin".

 

 

Any help regarding this is appreciated in advance.

 

Thanks,

 

Sumanta Basak.

Dear All,

I'm using a glm to analyse the effect of year on a 
variable with poisson distribution. Using the summary() I 
can test whether years are different from each other, but 
how can I test whether year has an overall effect on my 
respons variable? My guess is that by a Wald-test, but I 
don't know how exactly.

Could someone give me advice?

Many thanks,
Istvan

Hello R-Expert,


 Recently I was using "RBloomberg" package in R-2.2.0 in Windows (XP)
machine installing the required packages. I checked one example using
blpGetData guided in corresponding help file: 


conn <- blpConnect()

edb <- blpGetData(conn, "ED1 Comdty", "PX_LAST",
start=chron("1/1/06"),
end=chron("1/31/06"))

 

I got error message as following:

The error message: Error in any (origin (chronDate)! = orig): couldn't
find function "origin".



Then I installed package "calibrate". I tried the same example
ignoring
"start=chron("1/1/01")" and
end=chron("1/31/06").The result was:

 

ED1 Comdty   PX_LAST

95.1125

But when I tried the same with "start=chron("1/1/01")"
installing the
package "calibrate". I got followings catching edb:

 

 

ED1                             Comdty           PX_LAST

(02/23/06 17:53:57)                            NA

 

 


I want to get all values of PX_LAST within 1/1/01 and 1/31/06 instead of
getting NA on the date I am working.Any help regarding this is
appreciated in advance.



Thanks,


Samik Sen
