[R-SIG-Finance] ta-lib & quantlib libraries for R

[Jorge Nieves]

Khanh,



I am not sure if you have seen Joseph Wang's earlier emails today. He indicated that there is some work related to adding the inflation functions into the "Quantlib-SWIG."  I am checking details tonight to help with the process. Is that what you are offering to do too? Will you be helping with this process?

If you already had the functions implemented, I can help you integrating them into R using RQuantLib..
