Hello: I am trying to use fCalendar for date arithmetic and the RMySQL package for accessing a MySQL database. The fCalendar math operations seem to work fine UNTIL I load the RMySQL package. Here is a demonstration: ean at fibonacci:~/Desktop/amCharts/rsa-metrics$ R R version 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) Copyright (C) 2008 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 R is free

Hello! I am trying to identify which ones of a vector of dates are US holidays. And, ideally, which is which. And I do not know (a-priori) which dates those should be. I have, for example: x<-seq(as.Date("2011-01-01"),as.Date("2011-12-31"),by="day") (x) I think chron should help me here - but maybe I am not using it properly: library(chron) is.holiday(chron) #

Hello, I must be doing something wrong that's very obvious. But I just don't see it. I changed my Windows Time Zone to GMT and my Financial Center to Montreal. But I still get several warnings. >Sys.timezone() [1] "GMT Daylight Time" >myFinCenter [1] "Montreal" >Sys.timeDate() [1] "Montreal" [1] [2005-04-19 10:55:02] Warning messages: 1: Set

For a model I am working on, I have samples organized by year and week of the year. For this model, the data (year and week) comes from the basic sample data, but I require a value representing the amount of time since the sample was taken (actually, for the purpose of the model, it is sufficient to use the number of weeks from the middle of the sample week to the present). What I have found so

Dear R users, I have problem with the library fCalendar. I am not using the US standard format notations. It seems like it is not possible to have different format than the US standards. Anyone how knows a way to go around this problem? Here is the code I enter: myDate = "12.03.2005" timeDate(myDate, format = "%d.%m.%Y") And I get following error message: Error in if

I have a daily time series and have two questions to get some help with. Firs,t I have dates in simple numeric values. e.g. ymd [1] 20050104 20050105 20050106 20050107 20050110 20050111 20050113 20050114 [9] 20050118 20050120 20050121 20050124 20050125 20050126 20050127 20050128 [17] 20050201 20050202 20050203 20050204 Now, I'd like to compute statistics, e.g. acf, by business days. So, I

Hi One of the most important calculation in applied finance is the number of days between dates. That kind of calculus become annoying when a specific calendar must be used. That is the case for the business days calculus. The package timeDate has a function isBizday to perform that kind of thing. The problem is that using this function to calculate the number of business days between dates has

I am using the following command from the Fcalendar Package : x = timeSequence("1992-12-31","1994-12-31") and then y = as.character(x) is a vector of character strings "[1] 1992-12-31" "1993-01-31" "1993-03-03" "1993-03-31" "1993-05-01" etc This is very close to what I need and thank you very much to whomever wrote

Dear, I'm a master student mathematics at university Gent, who's writing a thesis about vines and copula's. I'm in trouble with the package 'fCalendar' which I need for running 'QRMlib'. The problem is that 'fCalendar' doesn't have a namespace. I need to use R.2.14.1 because I also need the package 'vines' which only works for R.2.14.1. I'm

Hello everybody, it looks like the presense of some (do know know which) S4 methods for a given S4 class degrades the performance of xtfrm (used in 'order' in new R-devel) by a factor of millions. This is for classes that ARE derived from numeric directly and thus should be quite trivial to convert to numeric. Consider the following example: setClass("TimeDateBase",

Is there a function in R that is similar to Splus's align? The idea is, if I have a data.frame, or an its object that is like this: 2002-01-03 5 2002-01-04 NA 2002-01-05 7 2002-01-06 NA I want to align it by the last value to this: 2002-01-03 5 2002-01-04 5 2002-01-05 7 2002-01-06 7 TITLE: Function align USAGE: align(x, pos, how, error.how, localzone,

Hi R users: When I try to merge or bind (cbind or rbind) two series, both with a "FinCenter" different that GMT, the result is "GMT" not the original financial center? What am I doing wrong? ###################################################### require(timeSeries) getRmetricsOptions("myFinCenter") setRmetricsOptions(myFinCenter = "America/Bogota")

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

# Here is the solution: require(fBasics) # Be sure that R is running in time zone GMT. # Set your Windows environment variable to "GMT" # Your PC Windows clock can still run in any other time zone! # My clock is now running in Zurich in Europe. Date = c("2003-10-09", "2003-10-10", "2003-10-13", "2003-10-14") Open = c(1.27, 1.25, 1.27,

Hi, Im using R 2.1.1 and running Code that previously worked (on R 2.1.0 I believe) using the 'timeDate' function from the fCalendar package. The code now throws an error: Error in if (Sys.timezone() != "GMT") warning("Set timezone to GMT!") However I have read the documentation of the fCalendar package and I have set my system variable TZ to GMT. I tracked the

Dear R Helpers, I am trying to adjust the attribute of an R object pulled from quantmod. Since I want to do this for many such objects, I was trying to make the adjustment programmatic. Unfortunately, I am having a huge amount of trouble using attr in combination with paste (and perhaps get, and perhaps assign, none of which seem to help). When I hard-code the change it works fine. Your help

There is a function in the fCalendar package called xts.dvs but I m unable to see the code inside the function. Is this common with functions in the fCalendar package or maybe there is something else that I have to do first or use the colon colon command in some manner I want to see the function coee because I want to see the detials Of the algorithm used in the function. I am on linux and my

Dear R helper: When I was trying to install the fCalendar package, R report the following error and then my installation failed: * Installing *source* package 'fCalendar' ... ** R ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading Loading required package: MASS Loading required package: fEcofin Loading required package: fUtilities Loading required package: RUnit RUnit 0.4.17 loaded.

Hi All : I am attempting tomove a large amount of code from Splus to R and I was hoping that there was an equivalent in R of the Splus functions timeSeq and timeDate ? I did an RSiteSearch but nothing came up ? If the equivalent functions are part of some package, that's fine. Thanks a lot. Mark
