updated and significantly improved the documentation.
class timeSeries now has a dedicated summary method.
Previously it was falling back to the method for matrices.
colCumsums, colCummaxs,
colCummins, and colCumprods no longer throw
error for timeSeries objects when called with
na.rm = TRUE. Fixes bug #2121 reported by Shane
Haas.
corrected USDCHF dataset. The year information was wrong (the
data started from year 8295). The bug had been introduced in version
2100.84 when the dataset file was converted from a
usdchf.csv to USDCHF.rda.
USDCHF@documentation contains a short note about this
change. Also changed the FinCenter to Zurich (neither the documentation
nor the csv file contain FinCenter information).
the original source file msft.dat.csv of the
MSFT data is included now as
inst/extdata/msft.csv (note the different name). The file
had been removed in v2100.84. Note that there is a file
`msft.dat.csv in test/ but it is a modified
and abbreviated version of the original file.
dummySeries has been renamed to the more expressive
dummyMonthlySeries. The old name is still available but is
deprecated.
The functions returnSeries and
getReturns are no longer exported and will be removed in
the near future. They are synonyms for the function and their use was
discouraged for many years. Just use returns.
The functions spreadSeries and
midquoteSeries are no longer exported and will be removed
in the near future. Just use their synonyms spreads and
midquotes, respectively.
function cut is now formally deprecated. Use
window instead.
deprecated function seriesData is now defunct. Use
as.matrix() instead.
deprecated function seriesPositions is now defunct.
Use time() instead.
deprecated function newPositions<- is now
defunct. Use time<- instead.
deprecated function colAvgs is now defunct. Use
colMeans() instead.
deprecated function colStdevs is now defunct. Use
colSds() instead.
stopped exporting (almost) all functions whose names start with a ‘.’. Historically, the package was exporting all functions, including those start with a ‘.’. This should be of no concern for users since these functions were not documented but the developers of some Rmetrics packages where using such functions.
the additional arguments of the S3 timeSeries method
for diff() are now in its signature, which previously was
diff(x, ...). An intermediate function,
.diff.timeSeries, was eliminated in the process.
the bodies of the methods of series<-() and
coredata<- for signature "matrix" of value
were identical. Now the body is a separate, unexported function, which
is used as the definition of both of these methods.
eliminated .merge.timeSeries and other redundancy in
the implementation of the c("timeSeries", "timeSeries")
method.
eliminated .rev.timeSeries in the definition of the
rev method.
eliminated .scale.timeSeries in the definition of
the scale timeSeries method.
same as above for .sort.timeSeries.
eliminated .start.timeSeriesand redundancy in the
implementation of the timeSeries method.
eliminated .end.timeSeriesand redundancy in the
implementation of the timeSeries method.
the function .applySeries is now defunct. It was
obsoleted long time ago and was exported for historical reasons only.
Use applySeries() instead.
