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

I've been using R for a while, but now find myself needing to understand time-series objects for a short course I am teaching. I am putting together some daily financial datasets for illustration, but having some trouble in aggregating the data to months or weeks. I am getting a "cannot change frequency from 1 to 12" message. I am not sure that aggregation is where I want to go

The plotOHLC function in the tseries package is useful to plot timeseries of various financial assets with open/high/low/close data. I had often wondered if it could be made to run a little faster. It turns out that the following patch does --- plotOHLC.R.orig 2003-12-14 12:02:20.000000000 -0600 +++ plotOHLC.R 2003-12-14 12:03:42.000000000 -0600 @@ -21,14 +21,9 @@ ylim <-

Thanks, Carlos. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ERROR MESSAGE

Hi ALL: I am trying to use get.help.quote from library(tseries). I tried to run the example from help(get.hist.quote) but R complained. Here is the command I used and the response: ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "1998-01-01") trying URL

Hi, i really positive surprised when i found the "get.hist.quote" but didn't now why i get with the examples from Online-Help errorMessages. Perhaps their is a problem with POSIX and my OS WIN2000/R1.5.1 ? Thanks for advance & regards,Christian $ ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "1998-01-01") trying URL `

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

I'm trying to plot a ibm stock time series. I made the download of that series, ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "2003-01-01",quote=c("CL")) And ibm is a serie wiht this characteristic: Start = 37623 End = 37960 Frequency = 1 When I try to plot it, ts.plot(ibm) In the graphic the axe time is represented by 37623 ... 37960, How can I put

Hi- I would like to be able to change the value of SymA below and download a file from the corresponding URL.? Hardcoded, this line works fine: Symbol<- read.csv("http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=SPY&ignore=.csv", stringsAsFactors=F) However, when I incorporate using?a variable for the ticker, it no longer works.? SymA<- "SPY" Sym1<-

Hi R, I am trying to download the data from R. I give the below command. > library(fImport) > yahooSeries("IBM") trying URL 'http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=IBM&a=7&b=08&c=2007&d=7&e=07&f=2008& g=d&x=.csv' Error in download.file(url = url, destfile = file, method = method) : cannot open URL

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 <-

Both get.hist.quote, and its derivative priceIts, rely on download.file() to fetch financial data series from Yahoo! in .csv format. They allow for nice interactive demonstrations of what one can do with R. Unfortunately, both are currently broken as Yahoo! decided to add a somewhat useless html comment at the end of the csv 'stream', breaking the regular format of n rows with k columns.

I have been having the same problem as poster Hodgess, below. It appears that her question was never answered, so I would like to share a solution with the community. The problem is the (apparent?) inability to produce moving range process behavior (a.k.a. "control") charts with individuals data in the package "qcc" (v. 2.0). I have also struggled with the same limitation in

Dear R-users, How do I extract numbers between asp?P= and &VID from my txt vector?

gReetings: Is there any way to download a (or a sample of a) crossection of stock market prices? Or is it possible to use get.hist.quote with a *wild card*?

Hi all, I'd like to announce the "unofficial llvm github mirror", which I've been running for a bit over 3 years now: https://github.com/llvm-mirror Why is this useful in addition to the existing llvm git mirrors? * quick code browsing, easy to link to a particular line or commit * github projects based on LLVM can simply fork (server-side) and avoid uploading project contents
