[R-SIG-Finance] Beginning R metrics

[Alexy Khrabrov]

Trying to follow the examples in User Guides, I've found a bit more
step-by-step instruction is needed.  Apparently, xmp* functions load
with fBasics package.   However, trying to load them with xmpfBasics()
menu shows the menu which is not self-explanatory -- a mapping to the
User Guide is desirable.

Generally, a concise list of actions would be very helpful -- starting
with "install *these* packages from CRAN" -- exactly which ones and
how -- then, a HOWTO on following the Guides.  A way to list/check the
list of examples would help.

Cheers,
Alexy
