number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
Hello, Once again, the matrix EWMA has not the correct size. Did you carefully read the answer by Thomas Stewart? https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/attachments/20130724/c454b0f7/attachment.pl Extract of his reply: "When you expand the example to 5 stocks, there will be 15 elements (5 variances and 10 covariances)" > EWMA<-matrix(nrow=T,ncol=15)) Regards, Pascal
