R 2.3.1
I wrote a little script to do some cross correlations. The symbols are
in a text file like so:
symbols.txt
ibm
dd
csco
"""
require(tseries)
symbols <- scan("symbols.txt", what = 'character')
for(line in 1:(length(symbols)-1)) {
assign(symbols[line], get.hist.quote(instrument = symbols[line],
start = "2005-09-01", quote = "Close"))
}
# this results in objects ibm, dd... with the last symbol skipped
mat <- cbind(symbols) # this is the problem
(cor_mat <- cor(mat))
symnum(cor_mat)
"""
How can I pass a list of the objects to cbind()? As written cbind gets
only the names of the objects and binds the names not the objects.
Thanks in advance,
jab
