timeSeries (version 280.75)

colStats: Column Statistics

Description

A collection and description of functions to compute column statistical properties of financial and economic time series data. The functions are: ll{ colStats calculates column statistics, colSds calculates column standard deviations, colVars calculates column variances, colSkewness calculates column skewness, colKurtosis calculates column kurtosis, colMaxs calculates maximum values in each column, colMins calculates minimum values in each column, colProds computes product of all values in each column, colQuantiles computes quantiles of each column. }

Usage

colStats(x, FUN, ...)
colSds(x, ...)
colVars(x, ...)
colSkewness(x, ...)
colKurtosis(x, ...)
colMaxs(x, ...)
colMins(x, ...)
colProds(x, ...)
colQuantiles(x, prob = 0.05, ...)
colStdevs(x, ...)
colAvgs(x,  ...)

Arguments

FUN

a function name. The statistical function to be applied.

prob

a numeric value, the probability with value in [0,1].

x

a rectangular object which can be transformed into a matrix by the function as.matrix.

...

arguments to be passed.

Value

• the functions return a numeric vector of the statistics.
