Dear list members, How can I shade the background area of a zoo time series object between specific dates? eg. library(tseries) library(zoo) SP500<-get.hist.quote("^GSPC", start = "1990-01-01", quote = "Close") plot(SP500) How can I produce the same plot but with a (say) red background between 2007-04-12 and 2008-05-14 ?

Hello, Try example(names) in R 2.5.0 after library(RDCOMClient) and you get > example(names) names> # print the names attribute of the islands data set names> names(islands) Error in names(islands) : no applicable method for "names" > Is this normal? Any way round it??? Best regards, Costas ---------------------------------- Costas Vorlow

Dear all, I am fitting an arimax (arima with some extra explanatory variables) model to a time series. Say, I have a Y (dependent variable) and an X (explanatory). Y is 100 observations (time series) and X is 100 + 20 (20 to use for the forecast horizon). I can not make xreg work with the forecast function for an arima fit. The "predict" function seems to be working but the

Hello, I am trying to read a .CSV file from Bloomberg of prices (for an "its" series) of the following format: Date Price 23/10/2006 09:59 57.291 23/10/2006 10:01 57.221 23/10/2006 10:02 57.201 23/10/2006 10:03 57.231 23/10/2006 10:04 57.191 23/10/2006 10:05 57.191 23/10/2006 10:06 57.141 23/10/2006 10:07 57.081 I get the following: >

Hi, I have the following problem: library(playwith) x<-ts(rnorm(100)) y<-ts(cumsum(x)) playwith({ par(mfrow=c(2,1)) plot(x) plot(y)}) I can't make playwith identify (using the button top left) datapoints on multiple graph plots (eg. par(mfrow=c(2,2) for a 2 x 2 frame of plots). Is it possible any other way? Many thanks in advance, Costas P Think

Hi I am trying to save some plots in a postscript file. When I generate the plots in the main window, they appear correctly - their orientation is landscape (i.e., horizontal). However, when I open the .ps file with GSview, the whole page appears vertically, and the plot appears horizontally, which means that the plot is only partially visible (example here

Dear developeRs, in the last month I mentioned in several discussions on R-help that Kurt and I were working on tools for "CRAN Task Views" which should help to structure the fast-growing list of packages on CRAN. Now the first version of a package called ctv (for CRAN Task Views) is available from CRAN and also two frist drafts for such views can be seen at

I'd strongly second the notion of using github. The biggest advantage is that others can easily contribute changes through pull requests which lifts much of the burden from your shoulders.

Dear Willem, Personally, I use the R-forge project for the distribution CTV : https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ctv/ It?s an alternative option to github.

Hi Willem thanks for volounteering. To the best of my knowledge (regarding the machinery side), if you're planning to use github (and maybe even if you don't) you can "stole" ideas from https://github.com/ropensci/webservices https://github.com/lbraglia/PackageDevelopmentTaskView (minor modifications from webservices) https://github.com/eddelbuettel/ctv-finance or

Hi all, Sorry if this doesn't end up in the thread. Tobias Verbeke forwarded that e-mail to me, because he thought I would be interested in maintaining the Programming Tools CTV. I wasn't subscribed to R-devel yet, but I would indeed like to volunteer to maintain the Programming Tools CTV. It will be my first time creating a CTV, so some guidance on getting it setup will be appreciated.

Hi ho: I had used the ctv package on a Windows setup of R and I was wondering about Ubuntu. Certainly under Windows it has an easy time of it because there is only one library folder to scan for existing packages. Would its install.views and update.views functions work in Ubuntu where the packages are split up between the library established by R-cran downloads from synaptic and the default

I second the motion for a Programming Tools CRAN Task View. I would also think it could contain things like Rcpp, R6, etc. -Greg > On Jan 22, 2015, at 10:20 AM, Max Kuhn <mxkuhn at gmail.com> wrote: > > I've had a lot of requests for additions to the reproducible research > task view that fall into a grey area (to me at least). > > For example, roxygen2 is a tool

Hi I found yum-downloadonly and executed my command do that and save the dependencies in my current directory. Now when I execute my command: rpm -i mypackage all the dependencies are not found even though they are in the current directory. if I do a "yum install mypackage" (and its in the current directory) its not found either. How do I now install the mypackage in the current

I've had a lot of requests for additions to the reproducible research task view that fall into a grey area (to me at least). For example, roxygen2 is a tool that broadly enable reproducibility but I see it more as a tool for better programming. I'm about to check in a new version of the task view that includes packrat and checkpoint, as they seem closer to reproducible research, but also
