Alternatively, I could have two separate time series, one for each factor. On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 7:48 PM, Aaron Goldenberg <aaron at quantrisktrading.com

This seems like a simple issue but I cannot get it to work for some
reason. I have a time series object that has daily returns of several
stocks that I would like to aggregate by qualitative factor. In my toy
example, for each day, I would like to have two entries, one for the sum of
the returns of my two computer stocks and another for my financial stock.
Then I would like to calculate the cumulative sum of the returns for each
factor. What am I not doing correctly?
library(quantmod)
getSymbols("AAPL", src="yahoo", from="2015-07-01")
AAPL <- dailyReturn(AAPL$AAPL.Adjusted)
AAPL <- cbind(data.frame(AAPL), sector="Computer")
AAPL <- as.xts(AAPL)
getSymbols("GOOG", src="yahoo", from="2015-07-01")
GOOG <- dailyReturn(GOOG$GOOG.Adjusted)
GOOG <- cbind(data.frame(GOOG), sector="Computer")
GOOG <- as.xts(GOOG)
getSymbols("GS", src="yahoo", from="2015-07-01")
GS <- dailyReturn(GS$GS.Adjusted)
GS <- cbind(data.frame(GS), sector="Financial")
GS <- as.xts(GS)
combined <- rbind(AAPL, GOOG, GS)
#combined <- period.sum(combined$daily.returns, endpoints(combined,
on="days"))
combined <- aggregate(combined, by=combined$sector, sum)
The problem is that you're trying to mix types in the xts data. xts
extends zoo, which is simply a matrix with an index attribute, and you
can't mix types in a matrix.
There are many different ways to do this. Here's one way that should
be easily extensible to more sectors.
library(quantmod)
Computer <- new.env()
Financial <- new.env()
getSymbols("AAPL;GOOG", from="2015-07-01", env=Computer)
getSymbols("GS", from="2015-07-01", env=Financial)
sectorReturnSum <- function(env) {
adj <- do.call(cbind, eapply(env, Ad))
ret <- ROC(adj, type="discrete")
xts(rowSums(ret, na.rm=TRUE), index(ret))
}
combined <- merge(Computer = sectorReturnSum(Computer),
Financial = sectorReturnSum(Financial))
