Dear R People: In library(its), there is a command priceIts. There is a problem with this command. It is returning an error message: > ibm1 <- priceIts(instrument="ibm",start="1998-01-01",quote="Open") Error in download.file(url, destfile, method = method, quiet = quiet) : cannot open URL

Dear All, There is an example for the priceIts function (the its package) which does not work for me as expected. > ?priceIts > x1 <- priceIts(instrument = c("^ftse"), start = "1998-01-01", + quote = "Close") Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class "its" object: Missing values in dates > x2 <-

Dear R People: About 2 years ago, there were a few messages about the function priceIts from library(its) generating error messages. One of the suggested fixes at that time was to check security software and such. I'm getting the same message tonight, and have checked both from Windows and a Linux installation. The other suggestion was to determine if there is still a problem with the

Buenas. Esta mañana estoy trasteando un poco con googlevis, sobre todo para ver si introducimos algunos gráficos chulos en la página web de la empresa ( hacemos estudios sociológicos).

Dear R-users, I am in the process of creating new custom functions and am quite puzzled by some discrepancies in execution time when I run some R scripts that call those new functions. So here is the situation: - let's assume I have created two custom functions, called myg and myf; - myg is mostly a plotting function, which makes a heavy use of grid and lattice functions; - myf is a function

I used quantmod to pull in price data from the ticker SPY. The data has date and closing price. I would like to show the day of the week for each closing price. Is that possible? Also, I would like to add the back into the data frame in a new column without changing the structure of the data set if possible. SPY 2009-01-02 92.96 2009-01-05 92.85 2009-01-06 93.47

I find it's just great to be able to say: library(tseries) x <- get.hist.quote(instrument="ongc.ns") and it gets a full time-series of the stock price of the symbol ongc.ns from Yahoo quote. However, once my hopes have been raised by such beauty :-) I get disappointed when I do > plot(x) and the annotation is horrible! The x axis is not labelled as dates. The default

If anyone has a few extra CPU cycles to spare, I'd appreciate it if you could verify a problem that I have encountered. Run the code below and tell me if it crashes your R before completion. library(lme4) data(bdf) dump<-sapply( 1:50000, function(i) { fm <- lme(langPOST ~ IQ.ver.cen + avg.IQ.ver.cen, data = bdf, random = ~ IQ.ver.cen | schoolNR); cat("

Hi, I have just started to setup and configure my asterisk box and am having trouble with it. I have a dlink nic in the box as well as the digium card. When the nic is in there by itself it works, but when I put the tdm400p in, there seems to be some sort of conflict with the network card. The tdm appears as another type of network card, which I don't think it should, should it? It shows
