I recently downloaded RStudio’s v0.92.44 release, and, I must say, it’s light! I think I could even run it on a netbook, which is great for analysis on-the-go. I’ll likely uninstall Eclipse-StatET at this point and go with RStudio . Not only is it light, but the layout and features are exactly what I wanted from an R app. Here’s a screen shot (click for full size) (FIXED) : If you haven’t given this a try, I highly recommend you do. It runs on all popular platforms, and uses the Qt widget library. Although I’m not a fanboy of Qt, this is one case where Qt seems to really shine. RStudio can be downloaded here .
In my explorations with R, Mathematica, FreeMat, MatLab, and RapidMiner (now with R support! Yay!), I’m seeing integration of R to be quite useful in building a trading app, as technical analysis is one of R’s fortés. For the sake of brevity, I’m including comments in the code instead of using paragraphs… use the source, Luke.
Description: My explorations with the FRED (St Louis Financial Reserve Database) in R have yielded some interesting plots, charts and graphs . And some questions…
