what package should I include to use timeDate? I want to convert a double (num of millis) into date object.

We use Informix database. I was able to connect to the database with S-PLUS by using its CONNECT/Java through the JDBC driver. How can I connect to Informix with R, wither using JDBC or any other method? we run Linux so I prefer a method other than ODBC. Thankx for the help

Hello List, I've done some cursory searching but (so far) have struck out. Does anyone know if the R version of the S+ FinMetrics package is available? Best, Bill Vedder

Dear all, S+Finmetrics has a number of very specilised functions. I am particularly interested in the estimation of cointegrated VARs (chapter 12 of Zivot and Wang). In this context the functions coint() and VECM() stand out. I looked at package "dse1", but found no comparable functionality. Are there any other packages you could point me to? In general, are there efforts for

Hi, I am trying to fit a GARCH(1,1) model to a financial timeseries using the 'garch' function in the tseries package. However the parameter estimates obtained sometimes match with those obtained using SAS or S-Plus (Finmetrics) and sometimes show a completely different result. I understand that this could be due to the way optimization of MLEs are done, however, I would appreciate any

Hi, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong area to post this message. I would like to know if there is an "R" equivalent for the "S+finMetrics" package? I'd like to be able to use "R" to go through the examples provided in the book "Modeling Financial Time-Series with S-Plus" (E. Zivot and J. Wang). I was told that "R" and

I'm trying to use garchFit from fSeries, with Student or Skewed Student conditionnal distribution. Let's say that eps (vector) is my series of daily log-returns: data(EuStockMarkets) eps = diff(log(EuStockMarkets[,"CAC"])) library(fSeries) g = garchFit(series = eps, formula.var = ~garch(2,2), cond.dist = "dstd") s = g at fit$series All the coefficients are ok

Finmetrics (in S-PLUS) has teh functions "positions" (return the positions of an ordered data object). Is there an equivalent to it in Remtrics? I am applying it to teh data of a time series.

please !, what is the R equivalents for the S-plus package : S+FinMetrics thanks hassan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have two time series a <- ts(1:10, start=c(1,6), end=c(2,5), frequency=10) b <- ts(1:5, start=c(2,1), end=c(2,5), frequency=10) Obviously 'b' is a subset of 'a'. I want a single index value indicating where that start of 'b' lines up with the start of 'a'. So in this simple example I would expect an index of 5. I was playing with 'merge'.

Dear all, I've recently switched from EViews to R with RMetrics/fSeries (newest version of july 10) for my analysis because of the much bigger flexibility it offers. So far my experiences had been great -prior I had already worked extensively with S-Plus so was already kind of familiar with the language- until I got to the fSeries package. My problem with the documentation of fSeries is that

Greetings, Are there R packages that perform time-series analyses - particularly estimation of ARIMA models along with unit-root tests? I know that FinMetrics in the S-Plus program will do it, but I'm looking for R packages, as well any reference material for estimating time-series' models in R. Thanks in advance, David --

Hi, I am trying to figure how to use dlm with constant terms (possibly time-dependent) added to both equations y_t = c_t + F_t\theta_t + v_t \theta_t = d_t + G_t\theta_{t-1} + w_t, in the way that S-PLUS Finmetrics does? Is there any straightforward way to transform the above to the default setup? Thanks, Tsvetan -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in

Dear r list, I posted this on the S list last week since i'm using some of the FinMetrics functions on copula. Knowing there is a copula package in R, I figure this would be an appropriate forum to ask this question. I want to model inverse relationship between two (non-normal, non-symmetric) marginals with the gumbel copula, or with any copula. Say, x is lognormal and y is norm. Since

I have a monthly price index series x, the related return series y = diff(log(x)) and a POSIXlt date-time variable dp. I would like to apply annual blocks to compute for example annual block maxima and mean of y. When studying the POSIX classes, in the first stage of the learning curve, I computed the maximum drawdown of x: > mdd <- maxdrawdown(x) > max.dd <- mdd$maxdrawdown > from

Hi, I am trying to create a perspective plot with Time on the x-axis, Underlying Price on the y-axis, and Option Price on the z-axis. But I don't like the way my x-axis is setup. Right now, Time is this sequence. Time = seq(from = 1/52, to = 1, by=1/52) That results in the x-axis going from 0 at the back, to 1 near the foreground corner.(If that makes any sense) I want to do the

Hi, I did not find any web page about using R in economics and econometrics so far. However, this does not mean that there is none (searching with google for "R" and "economics" gives many pages about economics and a name like Firstname R. Lastname on it ;-)). Does anybody in the list does know such a web page? If not, I will be happy if you, Ajay, could build and

Hi, I would like to estimate a quadratic almost ideal demand system in R which is estimated usually by nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression. But there is no such function in R yet but it is readily available in STATA (nlsur), see B. Poi (2008): Demand-system estimation: Update, Stata Journal 8(4). Now I am thinking, what is quicker learning to "program" STATA which seems not really

Hi, I am newbie for LLVM. I need some help, I want to disassemble ARM binaries and perform some operation on LLVM IR and again back to generate ARM binary from modified ARM LLVM IR. How I can proceed for the same. Any tool or document will be highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Deep -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
