Hi, Does anyone know the purpose behind why the parameters in the Luxor demo are preceded by dots? # optimization range .FastSMA = (1:30) .SlowSMA = (20:80) It seems to make them hidden, which also makes them difficult to remove. Thanks, John

They're just named parameters with dots in the name. They are used in the parameter demos. You can easily see hidden objects with ls(all=TRUE) and can remove any named object: rm(.FastSMA) with or without a dot. Regards, Brian
Brian, Thanks. So there is no particular reason why they were made as hidden parameters? Best, John On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 2:14 PM, Brian G. Peterson <brian at braverock.com> wrote:
