All, I have been just recently working with zoo objects for trading systems. Can someone please help with these basic questions? Given a daily time series downloaded using get.hist.quote() from the tseries package, ie...... startDate= as.Date("2000-01-01") endDate= as.Date("2011-01-29") frequency= 'd' s= get.hist.quote('IWF', start= startDate, end=

Good morning all! I am attempting to superimpose a moving-average smoother onto a graph of daily plots. These plots (in table[,2] below) span about 350 days and looks very noisy. I'd like for this smoother to plot the average of each group of 7 consecutive days (weekly) and show a line which joins these series of averages. Given the definition of MA, the first and last points will

Is there a way of aggregating 'zoo' daily data according to day of week? eg all Thursdays I came across the 'nextfri' function in the documentation but am unsure how to change this so any day of week can be aggregated. I have used POSIX to arrange the data (not as 'zoo' series) according to day of week, but am curious if I've missed if a similar option available with zoo. Thank you for any he...

Hi R users, I have a time series variable that is only available at a monthly level for 1 years that I need to decompose to a weekly time series level - can anyone recommend a R function that I can use to decompose this series? eg. if month1 = 1200 I would to decompose so that the sum of the weeks for month1 equals 1200, etc..

I need to convert this to a date that is the last U.S. stock-exchange trading day of each month. Any advice is appreciated, mymonths <- c(200701, 200702)

Hi all, I am trying to convert all the dates (all days that are not Friday) in data frame into dates to next Friday. The following works but the result is returned as vector rather than the original class. It would be greatly apprecited if you could provide any solution to this problem. Many thanks in advance. # Define arbitrary initial date value ini <- as.Date("2010/1/1",

Hello all, I'm hoping to convert a decimal value for week of the year back to a date object. Eg: strptime(paste(2010,1:52,sep=" "),format="%Y %W") I expected (hoped?) this would give me the date for Monday of each week. Instead, it's giving me 52 values of today's date. Where am I erring?

hi, I have a and data frame with date-column and some other columns. My first question is what is the fastest way to get the index of an array if I know the value f.e > x = c(4,5,6,7,8) so i know the value is 6.. i.e. the index is 3. What I currently do is loop over the array, I was thinking if there is faster more direct way. The next one...is I have a data frame one of the columns is Date
