In the process of learning R, with a specific interest on financial time series. While I continue to get through the documents I am more a fan of learning by example and then looking up how each function is used. Any websites which post sample code for R? Thanks in advance.

The largest source of example code is R itself. If you have a command in which you are interested, you can often just type the command and the code will be shown to you. Try typing: ls() Then: ls It will show you the code used to produce the result. Also, each command has its own example(s) in the help. Sean
I'm looking at the same thing. A good source for this is to
'install.packages(c("fBasics", "fCalendar", "fExtremes", "fMultivar",
"fOptions", "fPotfolio", "fractdiff", "fSeries", "its", "lme4",
"zoo"))', then 'update.packages()'. These will install subdirectories
or folders with the indicated names "fBasics", etc., in "library" with
your R installation. For example, in my Windows installation, I have
"D:\Program files\R\rw2010pat\library", which contains many subfolders
including ones named "fSeries". These all contain files "*.R", which
provide sample code.

assuming one has these installed already, you just look in the demo folder under each? i.e., fBasics\demo ???

Yes. Thanks for the elaboration. What differences might one expect between the contents of "\demo" and "\R-ex"? (I found "\R-ex" with all the packages I named, but not all had "\demo".) spencer graves There seem to be different

`R-ex' contains the examples from the `man' pages and demo contains the `demo' files. Whereas man pages are necessary to pass R CMD check, demo files are not, so this is part of the reason while much more packages have examples but not demos. You can conveniently look at both, using examples() and demo() from within R. Z
