Hi there! I'm stuck with a problem aligning financial timeseries and haven't found a cue how to fix it... When I run that simple script, everything goes well until the "align"-command: ------ rm(list=ls()) x <- yahooSeries("^GDAXI") head(x) xAligned <- align(x = x, by = "1d", method = "before", include.weekends = FALSE) ------ Here's

Dear all Is there any R function that would perform currency conversion using up-to-date exchange rates? I would be looking for a function that allows to download recent exchange rates (say, from Yahoo!) and then use these in converting currencies (say, USD to EUR). I am not sure whether r-sig-finance would be more appropriate, but the (off-)topic feels general enough to me. Thank you Liviu --

The RGUI is not closing complete there is a blank screen left which I have to close with the X Button or Taskmanager Windows XP Home - German Version

Hi, If you have multiple players installed on your PC/Mac .m3u will always open the last media player who are the default in charge of the extension and mime m3u. On your web site you want maybe to force a link to open real media player or quicktime/itune. You need to create a .pls to force winamp loading the streaming because windows media player won't open .pls etc. If you add a .pls

Hello. I am new to this forum and relatively new to Icecast. I have set up and Icecast broadcast from my computer using Winamp as the playlist and the SAM Encoders to encode to WMA. The broadcast is running perfectly. The only issue is when I create an ASX file that links to my broadcast, it shows my IP address as the title of the broadcast. What do I need to do to change this to a name of my

Dear all, One of the functions that I wrote (ggsave.latex) extents the functionality of a function (ggsave) in another package (ggplot2). Instead of copying all the information I would like to create a link in the helpfile of ggsave.latex to the helpfile of ggsave. I tried \code{\link{ggsave}} and \code{\link{ggplot2::ggsave}}, but neither worked. Both cases gave a 'missing link' warning.

A FREE AAC/aacPlus Plugin for Microsoft Windows Media Player that fully supports the Icecast2 Server is available for download here: http://www.orban.com/plugin FYI: This plugin supports .asx for Windows Media Player NOT .pls or .m3u. Also streams can be opened directly by using newly created UIL redirectors, e.g., icyx:// instead of http:// and rtpx:// instead of rtsp://. This is all covered

Hi, I do not understand why after I called apply on a function that returns an xts (getIdvAdjSeries) it returns a matrix whose columns are just numeric value of time series in xts instead of a list of xts objects. Basically, I called the following: apply(matrix(tickers,ncol=1),1,FUN=getDivAdjSeries) getDivAdjSeries <- function(ticker) { seriesName <-

Dear experts, I?ve been on this for weeks now, and couldn?t find a solution..Sorry for the long description. I figured I post many details, so you get the problem entirely, although it?s not hard to grasp. **Situation:** Data frame consisting of 4 million entries (total size: 250 MB). Two columns: `ID` and `TEXT`. Text strings are each up to 200 characters. **Task:** Preprocessing the text

Dear R Helpers, I am trying to change the name of an object using the assign function. When I use paste on the new object but not the old, everything is fine: The new object is a direct copy of the old object. When I use a paste for both the new and the old object, however, the new object is simply the character representation of the old object name, not the old object itself. The example
