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

I have R-0.62.3 and RedHat 5.0 with fort77. At the office R is running but when I install a package, eg. 'akima' I get a message make: f77: Command not found 'R INSTALL library' does not accept fort77, but R installation checks f77/g77/fort77. Is there an easy way to edit some file and replace f77/g77 with fort77? At home I have the same R and Linux versions, but when

Hi, I have a graph with seven parallel horizontal lines. Is it possible to shade the area between two adjacent lines? Thank you in advance, Hannu

Hi, when using a laptop and trying to install packages for R for Windows 2.2.1 I get the following error > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.dk.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.2 Warning: unable to access index for repository

Hi, I have adviced my students to install R and an editor on a USB drive for working in the computer class. With R everything works fine following these instructions: http://personal.bgsu.edu/~mrizzo/Rmisc/usbR.htm. But several editors (e.g., Tinn-R and WinEdt) require administrator rights. I have found out that Emacs (Vincent Goulet's Emacs for Windows Modified

Hello: would you please help me with the following glm question? for the R function glm, what I understand is: once you specify the "family", then the link function is fixed. My question is: is it possible I use, for example, "log" link function, but the estimation approach for the guassian family? Thanks, Shuangge Ma, Ph.D. ******************************************** *

Full_Name: Hannu Kahra Version: 1.0.0 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (153.1.50.127) x1 <- lag(x, k=1) returns the original series x. The time series is not shiftet at all. Only the time is shiftet: for x1 new start = old start -1 and new end = old end -1. When I run, e.g. lm(x~x1) the result is not what I expect. Both x and x1 are time series. Is this a bug or am I forgetting something?

Hello All, I would like to optimize a (log-)likelihood function subject to a number of linear constraints between parameters. These constraints are equality constraints of the form A%*%theta=c, ie (1,1) %*% 0.8,0.2)^t = 1 meaning that these parameters should sum to one. Moreover, there are bounds on the individual parameters, in most cases that I am considering parameters are bound between zero

Hi, I just found out that Tinn-R_2.3.6.0 is now available on http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinn-r/. When configuring Tinn-R: R > Configure > Permanent (Rprofile.site) I get error C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0\bin\etc\RProfile.site The above file was not found. Please try to repeat the procedure! The correct path for RProfile.site is C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0\etc\Rprofile.site I was

hi i'm looking for a gibbs sampling algorithm for R for the case of mixture of K normals, and in particular for the case of bivariate normals. i'd be grateful if anyone could send its own R-routine, at least for the univariate case. thank you in advance matteo

Dear all Currently, I'm implementing the generalized hyperbolic distribution into Splus. Unfortunately the Bessel function is not implemented in Splus. In R the Bessel function does exist but it is an internal function and I'm not able to look at the code. Is there any possibility to see the code of the Bessel function in R or does anybody has an implementation of the Bessel function in

Hello All, I set up ltsp regulary, on Centos6 machines. This morning I have a Selinux problem that usualy does not occur: after setting everything up, the thinclients boot, but nobody can login. It only works after the command : # echo 0 > /selinux/enforce I tried this semanage command: # semanage fcontext -a -t bin_t /usr/bin/xauth but it makes no difference. The message I'm now

Sigfried, I am not a statistician, but I have learned that according to the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) sums of random variables, regardless of their form, will tend to be normally distributed. CLT does not require the variables in the sum to come from the same underlying distribution. Ciao, Hannu Kahra Progetti Speciali Monte Paschi Asset Management SGR S.p.A. Via San Vittore, 37 IT-20123
