No. S+FinMetrics is a *module*, Insightful proprietary code which is an additional-cost addon for S-PLUS. It is not part of S-PLUS per se. > provided in the book "Modeling Financial Time-Series with S-Plus" (E. > Zivot and J. Wang). I was told that "R" and "S-Plus" were very similar. Please ask the person who told you that what (s)he meant by it. Then look together at the R FAQ for an informed answer. > and I am relatively new to both languages.

There are various facilities for financial time series available for R (see the FAQ, again) but you won't be able to work through that book with them. -- Brian D.
