Dear all, i have daily stock prices for more than 10 years and want to compute annual volatilities for certain dates during this period. Since i have found no "easy" way to work with time data, the data presents itself in the structure
TIme Index - Stock Price 1 - 15,6 2 - 17 ... ... 2010 - 28 2011- 28,5 ... 4500 - 23 Since I want to have the volatility only for certain dates, I define these dates in a vector Deal_Dates <- c(500,600,700,805) and use the for-command to calculate these specific volatities via for(i in Deal_Dates){Volatility(i)} My problem is now, that I want to save the results in a new matrix which i created in the structure results <- matrix(rep(NA,4*2),4,2) in a way that Time Index - Volatility 500 - 0.55 600 - 0.44 700 - 0.45 805 - 0.66 is stored in the results matrix. How can I save the result of each for-loop in the matrix? I want the respective Time-Index of the loop to be put in the first column and the volatility in the second column. Since my vector for the for-loop consists of "random" values for the Time-Index, i can't write resultsl[i,1] = Time Index and results[i,2] = Volatility I am looking for something that gives me the current round or iteration of the for-loop in order to replace the "i" in adressing the cells of the result matrix. Hope you can help! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Counting-the-loop-round-of-a-for-loop-tp4381319p4381319.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
