[R-SIG-Finance] timeSeries

[Vorlow Constantinos]

Dear all,

I am experimenting with Rmetrics and the fImport library...

DJret<-(yahooSeries(symbols = c("^DJI"), from = NULL, to = NULL, 
    nDaysBack = 408, quote = c("Close"), 
    aggregation = c("d"), returnClass = c("timeSeries"), getReturns =
TRUE))

My question is:

Can you run stats, regressions etc. on a "timeSeries" object?   

Also

If you choose to download the data as a "ts" object

DJret<-(yahooSeries(symbols = c("^DJI"), from = NULL, to = NULL, 
    nDaysBack = 408, quote = c("Close"), 
    aggregation = c("d"), returnClass = c("ts"), getReturns = TRUE))

everythings works fine though I can't gate the dates to display on a ts
plot...

Any clues?


I found out that trying to plot some timeSeries objects and calling a
barplot funcion, causes R (eventually) to crash...

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Thanks in advance for your time,
Costas
