Shubha,
The calculation is:
wilderSum[1] <- x[1]
for(i in 2:NROW(x)) {
wilderSum[i] <- x[i] + wilderSum[i-1] * (n-1)/n
}
Where 'x' is the price series and 'n' is the number of periods.
You can see the calculations for all functions in TTR's source code,
which is on CRAN and r-forge
(http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ttr/).
Please feel free to contact me directly regarding questions about TTR.
Best,
Josh
