[R] Error in curve 'expr' did not evaluate to an object of length 'n'

[William Dunlap]

You define a function called running.acf.max and then call
    plot(running.acf.max)
R's plot, when given a function f, makes a plot of f(x) vs. x
by calling curve().

Did you mean to plot the result of running.acf.max with its
default arguments?  That would be done with
    plot(running.acf.max())

There are several other problems with this code.  E.g., you have
  running.acf.max <-
  function (data = returns, window = 100, nlags = 5, plot = T, main = "")
  {
      clevel <- qnorm(0.5 + 0.95/2)/sqrt(window)
      series <- rollapply(data = returns, window, align = "right",
          by = 1, function(w) {
          ...

You should have data=data in the call to rollapply so it depends
on the 'data' argument to running.acf.max.

Use traceback() after an error to see where the error came from.
