similar to: Windows versus Unix packages in CRAN (Was Re: Rmetrics)

It is a pleasure for me to announce the new built for Rmetrics Version 191.0057. The source files and Windows binary packages can be downloaded from www.rmetrics.org . The new built has also been submitted to the CRAN server. Some new functions and example files have been added. Unfortunately the user guides and reference guides are not yet updated, they have still the status of Version

Hi there, Does anyone know how to predict ARMA? It doesn?t have either predict or forecast methods. I found couple of packages called fbasic and fseries at http://www.itp.phys.ethz.ch/econophysics/R/, which has ?arma.predict? in it, but it doesn?t seem to be working. Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards Skanda Kallur "Prediction is very difficult,

Yes. That's the version I've been discussing that has non-zero exit status. That situation is why CRAN retired the prob package. It's possible you installed that library earlier in development and it's been "carried" along. It no longer installs, now. The problems with all of this seem to have started this month according to the conversations. However, no one has

The issue is fAsianOptions. Is there a version that works with the latest version of R? If not, which version of it works with which version of R and where can it be found? I tried several at the archive already. Alternatively, is there another package that behaves similarly to prob?

Yes, that is exactly what I was doing two days ago. Warning in install.packages : installation of package ?fAsianOptions_3010.79.tar.gz? had non-zero exit status Which is what a reading of the explanation for why "prob" was retired leads one to expect. Do you have some other suggestion about how to get it to work? I notice you're not using Windows which might have a relationship

Thanks. I found that, and installed it and got the same message.

Hello, I am trying to switch to R from S-PLUS 6.1, and one problem I am having is using R for manipulation of calendar-based time-series. In S-PLUS, I commonly use the functions timeSequence(), timeDate(), and timeSeries() to align/average/aggregate data; and I also do a lot of plotting of time-series data (with calendar-based labels on the x-axis). I was wondering if anyone is familiar with

Rtools is not available for the current version of R. What I'm looking for is an alternative package or how others have managed to create workarounds.

In what R package(-s) can I find the entire set of financial functions that you can find in MS-Excel such as PMT, PPMT, FV and IPMT? Ciao Vittorio
