Financial Econometrics data warpper package

Primary LanguageR

fmxdat

Introduction

The aim of this package is to make loading data into the practicals for my course, Financial Econometrics, easier to do. Installing this package allows the student to load the data for a particular practical simply by typing:

  data_Use <- fmxdat::DataName

For details on the course, contact me directly.

Some more helper / wrapper functions might be introduced in time.

Examples

Wherever in the practicals a dataframe is mentioned, this dataframe can now be accessed without the need for an internet connection as follows:

library(tidyverse)
library(fmxdat)
df_Use <- fmxdat::BRICSTRI
df_Use %>% gather(Countries, TRI, -Date)

Creating projects

The following creates a project template that I recommend you use when doing any work.

The README is you diary as you proceed, and your manual when you return to your project in the future.

Use it as (note - the folder must be empty - you cannot have multiple projects in a single folder.):

make_project(FilePath = "C:/Lets/Go/Now", ProjNam = "Projeesss")
