Hi R programmers,
I have stumbled across what seems a very simple problem. My goal is to
create a xts time series object which contains vectors as values. In
other words, I try to create something like this:
2009-01-01 => c('aa', 'bb', 'dd')
...
2010-02-01 => c('mm')
I have figured out parts of separately. Here's what works (new xts
time-series with simple FALSE values):
> getSymbols(src='yahoo', Symbols=c('SPY')) # this loads xts object
> into global environment under name SPY
> v <- vector(length=length(index(SPY))) # this creates a
> vector of the same length as the SPY time-series
> new_xts <- xts(v, order.by=index(SPY)) # this works and
> creates a time-series with FALSE as every value
> new_xts
2009-01-01 FALSE
...
2010-02-01 FALSE
Now, I'd like to create a xts object with vectors as values.
Presumably, I want lists to be used as values:
> myList <- vector("list", length=length(index(SPY))) # this creates a list of
> the same length as the SPY time-series
> for (i in 1:length(myList)) myList[[i]] <- c('aa', 'bb') # fill list with
> dummy test data
> new_xts_2 <- xts(myList, order.by=index(SPY)) # and I get an error
Error in coredata.xts(x) : currently unsupported data type
What am I doing wrong and how can this be implemented?
Truly appreciate your effort.
