[R-SIG-Finance] Systemfit package/Autocorrelation

[Peter Carl]

You might use autocorrelation-adjusted returns, using the 'Return.Geltner'
function in PerformanceAnalytics.  That adjusts for first-order
autocorrelation.

Okunev and White propose a method for removing n-order autocorrelation in:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=460641
... and if anyone is willing to contribute a function that implements it,
we'd be interested in including it in a future version of PA.

HTH,
