In what R package(-s) can I find the entire set of financial functions that you can find in MS-Excel such as PMT, PPMT, FV and IPMT? Ciao Vittorio
R has many different functions for financial computations, but I don't know if you will find them all together. Are you familiar with "RSiteSearch" (including the second "restrict" argument)? If you can't find what you want, please submit another post (after first reading the posting guide! "www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html"; the guide has helped people answer their own questions and, failing that, posts more consistent with that guide tend to receive quicker, more useful answers). hope this helps, spencer graves vittorio wrote:> In what R package(-s) can I find the entire set of financial functions that > you can find in MS-Excel such as PMT, PPMT, FV and IPMT? > > Ciao > Vittorio > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
I don't know what PMT, etc, does. So I just give some hints and maybe it is not so useful. There are several packages in CRAN related to financial.Have you try to find some functions in them? fBasics Rmetrics - Marketes and Basic Statistics fCalendar Rmetrics - Chronological Objects fExtremes Rmetrics - Extreme Financial Market Data fMultivar Rmetrics - Multivariate Market Analysis fOptions Rmetrics - Option Valuation fPortfolio Rmetrics - Portfolio Selection and Optimization fSeries Rmetrics - The Dynamical Process Behind Markets 2006/4/5, vittorio <vdemart1 at tin.it>:> In what R package(-s) can I find the entire set of financial functions that > you can find in MS-Excel such as PMT, PPMT, FV and IPMT? > > Ciao > Vittorio > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >-- ??????

Those functions in Excel are for computing things like interest payment for fixed interest rate loan, etc. RSiteSearch() doesn't turn up anything useful, so I'd guess no one has written them. Good opportunity for people to contribute, I guess. Andy From: Spencer Graves> > R has many different functions for financial > computations, but I > don't know if you will find them all together.
