When read.table imports a table that includes a header called 'Date', it tries to recognize the date format. For example, if one imports this data from Yahoo finance, the Date column is automatically transformed to Y-m-d, whereis in the data it appears as m/d/Y: myData <-

Hi there, Using a quantmod function, I calculate the daily change between two points in a time series. However, I don't think I am using the data correctly. Code: getSymbols("^GSPC", src="yahoo") CloseData <- Cl(GSPC) Delta <- diff(CloseData, lag=1) for (i in 3:length(Delta)) { if (Delta[i]>Delta[i-1]) sum <- sum + Delta } I can't seem to use the Delta

Hi I'm new to R and would like to implement a SAS-like macro variable in R. What I'd like to do is take the simple R code below and change the "=TEF" to different letters to refer to different companies' data for download. # DOWNLOADS FILES FROM YAHOO INTERNET

Hi there! I'm stuck with a problem aligning financial timeseries and haven't found a cue how to fix it... When I run that simple script, everything goes well until the "align"-command: ------ rm(list=ls()) x <- yahooSeries("^GDAXI") head(x) xAligned <- align(x = x, by = "1d", method = "before", include.weekends = FALSE) ------ Here's

Hi, I am quite new to R and would appreciate some guidance, if possible.

Hi there, I have a piece of Matlab code I use to optimise a trding strategy. If there are any Matlab/R specialists out there, I would appreciate your help in doing the exact same optimisation in R. I suspect I would use nlm() in R but am not sure where to define my constraints. I have attached my Matlab code below for reference. Many thanks. Constraints function [c,ceq]=TriskellConstraints(X)

Hi Jim, Thanks. It works. I now have more complex problems. If at each blackcell, there are two variables such as pop and mood. For each variable, there are daily records in one year, so 365 records for pop and 365 records for mood. The averaged values for the redcells should be daily records too. What kind of format do you recommend for this problem? Right now, I just get the latitudes and

Dear, I am trying to visualise a time-progressing line (it's supposed to represent spread patterns) using brew package and Google Earth. The idea is to have a function which takes start and end point geographic coordinates, as well as number of intervals to chop the path up, and returns the collection of points segmenting this line. Unfortunately my calculations fail for large distances,

Hi lily, It's not too hard to do it using dataframes. Getting the indexing right is usually that hardest part: # these values are the centers of the black cells lat<-rep(28:38,11) lon<-rep(98:108,each=11) pop<-sample(80:200,121) # just use the data.frame function blackcells<-data.frame(lat=lat,lon=lon,pop=pop) plot(0,type="n",xlim=c(97.5,108.5),ylim=c(27.5,38.5),

Dear R users, I need to find the coordinates for the point (midpoint) located half way between two pairs of coordinates (lon1,lat1 and lon2,lat2) assuming a straight line between them. What would be the best way? I tried to find an answer in the help archives but without success. I would greatly appreciate any help. df<- data.frame(lon1=c(-4.568,-4.3980), lat1=c(59.235,56.369),

Hello, I am trying to match lat/lon from one dataset with the lat/lon from a second dataset and use that rows data for calculations. I am using match, but this is finding the first match and not comparing the pair, how can I determine if the lat/lon are the same? See example below. Is there a better way to determine to a matching pair of lat/lon values? Example Datasets: > data2

Hi all, I use kriging to interpolate the precipitation from stations, but the map of this results show lots of stripes. (please see the attachment)I think there's something wrong with the setting of the dimension of this matrix, however, I have no idea how to know or test to see if this setting is correct or not.I've tried to switch the latitude and longitude, but still got the same
