Getting R Objects into Quantshare

Getting R Objects into Quantshare

Hey guys,

Considering the fast development of the R statistical programming language and the very large number of available packages (e.g. for data mining, neural networks, genetic programming, linear algebra...), I was wondering if it could be possible to add a feature to Quantshare allowing users to import R objects.

I believe that trading softwares can not compete against R for modeling signals (especially when it involves advanced statistical algorithms) but their edge is at the portfolio level testing and backtesting speed.

A similar package seems to be available in Amibroker: the RMath plug-in.

What do you think?

Cheers!

Here are the "R" math functions you can use in QuantShare language:
R_Evaluate
R_SetArray
R_GetArray
R_Debug

If you cannot find these function then you will need to install the "R" math plugin:
You should copy and unrar the following file then save files under the QuantShare directory. After that, restart the app:
http://www.quantshare.com/free/R-Plugin.rar

You should also install the R(D) COM interface
For more info please read: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/RtoCSharp.aspx

Example of usage:

res = R_SetArray("a", close);
res = R_Evaluate("a + 2");
plot(res, "");
