R-devel, I'm in the process of choosing a name for a new package. I've already decided that the name will have two parts, 'portfolio' and 'sim', but can't decide between 'portfolioSim' and 'portfolio.sim'. Is there any good reason to choose one over the other? Thanks in advance, Jeff -- Jeff Enos Kane Capital Management jeff at kanecap.com

A new version of package 'portfolio' is now available on CRAN. Also available are new packages 'backtest', for basic spread-based hypothesis testing, and 'portfolioSim', a general framework for portfolio simulation. Last March we wrote R-packages regarding our desire to build a suite of tools for portfolio analytics in R:

Dear R helpers, I have generated a portfolio of Equity, Dollar Rate and say zero coupon bond. I have calculated the daily returns based on the prices available for last two years. Now, I have three seperate csv files (Equity.csv, Dollar.csv and Bond.csv) containing the respective returns. I need to calculate the correlation matrix between the retuns of these assets. Please guide me how this

Hi, I'm an R newbie and I've been struggling with a optimization problem for the past couple of days now. Here's the problem - I have a matrix of expected payouts from different stock option strategies. Each column in my matrix represents a different stock and each row represents the return to the strategy given a certain market move. So the rows are not a time series of percentage

R-devel, There has been some confusion on the MatchIt package mailing list on the meaning of [--install=no] in the comment column of CRAN's automated package check. It's my understanding that, at the very least, a package marked like this will not have its test cases run each night. Are there other checks that are omitted? How, if at all, are such install flags related to the

R-devel, Below is a simple example calling split and unsplit on a numeric vector of length 2 where 'f' is c(1,NA). > unsplit(split(c(1,2), c(1,NA)), c(1,NA)) [1] 1 0 I noticed that the call to vector in unsplit gives us 0 as the 2nd element of the result. Is this the intended result, as opposed to NA? Thanks for your help, Jeff -- Jeff Enos Kane Capital Management jeff at

Hi mates, I have a problem. I am new to R and want to conduct the Fama/French asset pricing test. As I am from Germany, I cannot use the already computed factors from French's website, but need to compute them myself. So I have to sort a number of stocks into different portfolios using one factor, then subdivide these portfolios into several more using another factor, then compute portfolio

Hello everybody, I'm running into an issue with the fPortfolio package. 1. What I want: Calculate the minimum-variance portfolio on 20 assets with respect to the following constraints: - min weight per asset = 0% (i.e. no short-selling) - max weight per asset = 10% - min sum of asset weights = 100% (i.e. fully invested) - max sum of asset weights = 100% (i.e. no leverage) 2. What I

Hello. I don't understand a particular output of portfolio.optim (tseries). I have 4 assets and the portfolio.optim returns an asset with weight equals to zero. If I do a portfolio.optim with 3 assets, without the asset with weight equals to zero, it returns a completely different result. That's I would expected the same weights as the run with 4 assets. Below the code. Thanks in

Dear Katherine, For your first question: If you are creating these files in a specific folder, then list.files() #[1] "Individual_Present_Value_BONDS.csv"? "Individual_Present_Value_Equity.csv" #[3] "Individual_Present_Value_FOREX.csv" gives you which files are present.? But, suppose you have other files too in the folder and you want to check only the above
