similar to: run many linear regressions against the same independent variables in batch

Hello, I am a new user of R. I am coming from SAS and do statistics on stock market data, economic data, and social data. My question is this: How can you get the mean, standard dev, etc. of a variable based on a conditional statement on either the same variable or a different variable in the same data set? So if I had the closing prices of the S&P from 01/01/1990-12/31/1990, how could I get

Hi RUsers, Suppose I want to see the data on the website url <- "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm" for the index "S&P CNX NIFTY" for dates "FromDate"="01-11-2010","ToDate"="02-11-2010" then read the html table from the page using readHTMLtable() I am using this code webpage <-

Hi all R-Experts, I'm facing one problem in yahoo data downloading. I'm suing Windows XP, R 2.2.0, and i'm using yahoo.get.hist.quote function to download data. I need 500 companies of S&P index daily 'closing price' data for last ten years. My questions are: 1) I have all the ticker names of S&P 500 companies in a .csv format. I'm reading those names in R and

Hello I have daily S&P 500 from 1950 for which I would like to do some time series analysis in R. Could someone please show me an example of how to create a ts/ irts object for my data? Additionally, how do I create monthly subsamples of the data. I've experimented with the window function but haven't had any luck. Thank you Ian Confidential: This electronic message and

Dear all, Finally, I made it, my RPostgreSQL works. After working through some tutorials, i was able to plot, get and replace several timeseries. Still I miss the opportunity (syntax) to add data. Most tutorials are about: "Download some S&P data from Yahoo and play around a little". What I want to do is, add data to an existing timeseries. Is there a possibility to add data

Hi, I have a bunch of irregularly spaced xts time series (with a POSIX index), and I'm trying to write a function that fillls the missing days. Using a solution suggested by Gabor Grothendieck for zoo, I wrote the following: # FD: Fill missing days FD<-function(ser) {rng<-range(time(ser)) > temp<-merge(ser,xts(,seq(rng[1],rng[2],"day"))) >

Hi R users,   Thanks in advance.   I am using R 2.12.0 on Windows XP.   May I request you to assist me in the following please.   1. I am getting error while downloading quote data from yahoo finance.   The example code is below (taken from tseries help):   library(tseries)   con <- url("http://quote.yahoo.com") if(!inherits(try(open(con), silent = TRUE), "try-error")) {  

Hi everyone, I've got a question concerning the function Box.test for testing autocorrelation in my data. My data consist of (daily) returns of several stocks over time (first row=time, all other rows=stock returns). I intend to perform a Box-Ljung test for my returns (for each stock). Since I have about 3000 stocks in my list, I'm not able to perform the test individually for each

Hi I have created the following plot over the empirical returns.. What I now want to do is to overlay a curve/line with the normal density as a comparison of the two. Does anyone know how to do this? (NB the last two lines are the problem, and are wrong, I know). Thank you in advance! Rikke http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3768783/S%26P_500_spot_and_return_2010.csv

Dear R-users I need to calibrate kappa, rho, eta, theta, v0 in the following code, see below. However when I run it, I get: y <- function(kappahat, rhohat, etahat, thetahat, v0hat) {sum(difference(k, t, S0, X, r, implvol, q, kappahat, rhohat, etahat, thetahat, v0hat)^2)} > nlminb(start=list(kappa, rho, eta, theta, v0), objective = y, lower =lb, > upper =ub) Error in dots[[1L]][[1L]] :

I tried: > data(state.x77) Warning message: In data(state.x77) : data set 'state.x77' not found data(iris) seems to work fine, but the other state datasets (which I haven’t every tried before) don’t seem to be available on my windows 7 running R 2.12.2 installation. ?state brings up the state help page page which suggest the dataset should still be there.

Hi R Helpers, I recently tried to take advantage of the ability to download all the tickers in the S&P 500 using the functionality of tidyquant, but it threw an error. For summary, the set of commands that I ran was library(tidyquant) tq_index_options() tq_index("SP500") sessionInfo() R feedback including error message and sessionInfo are provided below. Guidance would be

Dear r-helpers, Does anyone have a straightforward example of putting together three unrelated (expect for a common y-axis) xyplot() figures in what would be in base graphics a par(mfrow = c(1, 3)) arrangement? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400 Parcels: Room 102

mksmbpasswd.sh does not create accounts with the X flag in the password flags field. Does this X matter, and if so, what does it mean?

Hi All, I'm sure this has been discussed many times but since I do not have a internet connection, I have to ask this question..

Hi, This is probably trivial to most people out there, but I'm struggling with this. I have a data set which contains the closing prices (properly adjusted for dividends and splits) for several hundred securities and the closing prices for a general stock market index (S&P 500). I have no problem getting it into R with RODBC and manipulating it. There are no missing values. I can

Hi R developers and debian users: Finally I found how to work with aggregate() function on the last patched version fo R. I you use this command it fails: aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), mean) But if you modify it in this way, it works!: aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), function(x) mean(x) ) Is it necesary to change the example? What is changing in
