Hi Andrew, You mentioned: > Yes, I agree with Ajay Shah's comments.

Hi room, There seems to be a problem with the Windows building machines of R-Forge. All our packages with Fortran source code cannot be compiled for Windows. The error in the log file is make[3]: gfortran: Command not found It seems that gfortran is not installed.

Hello, I'm new to R and would like to know how to create a vector of "rolling sums". (I have seen the Rmetrics package and the rollMean function and I would like to do the same thing except Sum instead of Mean.) I imagine someone has done this, I just can't find it anywhere. Example: x <- somevector #where x is 'n' entries long #what I would like to do is: x1

Hi folks. This set of code used to work, but after upgrading to the latest version of Rmetrics it no longer does. Any ideas?

Hi Everybody, I am a total beginner at this so please bear with me. I downloaded by hand the file WIG20.txt (Warsaw Stock Exchange Index of 20 most important stocks).

Hi folks - After upgrading to the latest version of Rmetrics, I can't read in data like I used to. Is anyone seeing the following?

Hi R, Please see the below commands. The question is I can see the value of log(2) before loading the package fcalendar in R. But after loading the package, the 'log' function doesn't work. How to solve this problem? Also note that the function code differs before and after downloading the packages. > log function (x, base = exp(1)) .Primitive("log") >

Hi One of the most important calculation in applied finance is the number of days between dates. That kind of calculus become annoying when a specific calendar must be used. That is the case for the business days calculus. The package timeDate has a function isBizday to perform that kind of thing. The problem is that using this function to calculate the number of business days between dates has
