Dear R helpers,
Suppose I have stock returns data of say 1500 companies each for say last 4
years. Thus I have a matrix of dimension say 1000 * 1500 i.e. 1500 columns
representing companies and 1000 rows of their returns.
I need to find the correlation matrix of these 1500 companies.
So I can find out the correlation as
cor(returns) and expect to get 1500 * 1500 matrix. However, the process takes a
tremendous time. Is there any way in expediting such a process. In reality, I
may be dealing with lots of even 5000 stocks and may simulate even 100000 stock
returns.
Kindly guide.
Vincy
