Is there a zip file to install PerformanceAnalytics package for R 2.4
running on Windows?

Thanks,

Alejandro

PerformanceAnalytics R package for Performance and Risk Analysis

We are pleased to release for the use and review of our peers and
mentors
this R package of econometric tools for performance and risk analysis.

We are soliciting feedback on the PerformanceAnalytics package on
R-SIG-Finance in preparation for releasing this package to CRAN and
submission to one of the implementation journals.  We believe that the
code here is stable and usable, please report any problems that you
encounter.  We intend to continue adding documentation and examples
during this review period as well, so please suggest refinements,
examples, or references.  We intend to write a vignette that can include
inline equations, code, and graphics as part of the publication process,
but that may not be completed before the first release to CRAN.

PerformanceAnalytics R package version 0.9.3 (v1.0rc1)

Econometric tools for performance and risk analysis.

Description:
Library of econometric functions for performance and risk analysis of
financial portfolios. This library aims to aid practitioners and
researchers in using the latest research in analysis of both normal and
non-normal return streams.

We created this library to include functionality that has been appearing
in the academic literature on performance analysis and risk over the
past
several years, but had no functional equivalent in R.  In doing so, we
also found it valuable to have wrapper functions for functionality
easily
replicated in R, so that we could access that functionality using a
function with defaults and naming consistent with common usage in the
finance literature. The package covers Performance Analysis, Risk
Analysis (with a separate treatment of VaR), Summary Tables of related
statistics, Charts and Graphs, a variety of Wrappers and Utility
functions, and some thoughts on work yet to be done.

This R package contains over 80 original functions, and several
 additional wrappers to simplify parameters or provide accessible names
 for other functionality.

I suggest that you start with the summary documentation, either via the
attached PerformanceAnalytics-package.pdf
or as HTML with links here:
http://braverock.com/brian/R/PerformanceAnalytics-package.html

Below please find the index summary of all the functions included in the
documentation.

Regards,

    - Brian
