Hello, If I have a character string like d <- c("1990m3", "1992m8") #March 1990 and Aug 1992 what is the easiest way to convert it into any standard date form; for example, d <- c("01/03/1990", "01/08/1992") I looked at as.Date but it doesn't seem to address my problem as I have an "m" stuck in the middle of my character string

Hi, How do I check for two conditions in an if loop? I want to check if a value lies between 2 other values. For example, A <- ts(rnorm(120), freq=12, start=c(1992,8)) X <- 0.5 Y <- 0.8 I would like to create a new vector C for which C[i] is 0 if A[i] lies in between X and Y. Would be grateful for any help.

Hi, I have been running the ccf() function to find cross-correlations of time series across various lags. When I give the option of plot=TRUE, I get a plot that gives me 95% confidence interval cut-offs (based on sample covariances) for my cross-correlations at each lag. This gives me a sense of whether my cross-correlations are statistically significant or not. However, I am unable to get R to

Hi, I have a simple linear regression for which I want to obtain HAC corrected standard errors, since I have significant serial/auto correlation in my residuals, and also potential heteroskedasticity. Would anyone be able to direct me to the function that implements this in R? It's a basic question and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here. I looked up this post:

I have two date objects X <- c("01-03-1993", "01-05-1997") #Mar 1993 and May 1997 Y <- c("01-02-1995", "01-08-1999") #Feb 1995 and Aug 1999 and a time series object A <- ts(rnorm(120), freq=12, start=c(1992,8)) #Aug 1992 to Aug 2002 I want to create a binary (0-1) vector B that is of length 1:(A). B should have value 1 for the time periods

Hi, Would anyone know if it is possible to run a Beveridge Nelson decomposition of a univariate time series object in R? I searched in the help files but didn't come across any potential methods.

Dear Sir/Madam, How to use getSymbols() to get annual data? For example, I need the annual stock price of APPLE from the year 2000 to 2016. How to write the command? I only know how to get the daily data. It is: getSymbols("AAPL",from="2000-01-01",to="2016-12-31") Thank you very much. Have a good week! Best regards, Yingrui Liu [[alternative HTML

Hi, I have an vector object that looks like DA <- c("1991q1", "1993q2") (first quarter of 1991 etc) and I want to convert it into a date object using as.Date(). I did this for montly data but am stumped when it comes to dealing with quarterly data and as.Date. Would anyone be able to help? Would be very grateful for any advice, sorry for being such an R-newbie!

Hello; I am trying following but getting a warning message : Warning in rbind.zoo(...) : column names differ, no matter whatever I do. Also I do not want to specify column names manually, since I am just writing a wrapper function around getSymbols to get chunks of data from various sources - oanda, dividends etc. I tried giving col.names = T/F, header = T/F and skip = 1 but no help. I think

One of the big problems in mixing fortran and C is knowing if the various compilers/loaders need extra underscores in the names of the entry points. The 0.62 release of R, which has reverted to using fortran, seems to be broken in this respect. In particular, on a machine which does not append underscores to fortran entry points (HP-UX 10.20), there are many problems. It seems that the

Can someone please tell me why the following (last line) doesn't work (as I expect it to :-) library(quantmod) a = getSymbols("MSFT",from="2009-3-01") a MSFT eval(as.name(a)) MSFT$MSFT.Adjusted b=paste(a,'$MSFT.Adjusted',sep='') b eval(as.name(b)) Why does this last line not work the way the earlier eval does? Thanks.

I'm calling a list of symbols and then using a function to build a data frame from that symbol list. It works great until I introduce this index symbol from yahoo '^GSPC'. When and index symbol is introduced I get and error which is below. > Data <- symbolFrame(symbols) Error in get(S) : object '^GSPC' not found Since R does not like the ^ in front of a name it
