Take a look at xts, a time series class that extends zoo and is compatible (forward and backwards) with all major time-series classes, including timeSeries from Rmetrics.
It has a few functions that may be of interest: ?endpoints ?period.apply It may also be useful to use the Fortran-based aggregation by time functions to turn your series into an OHLC series. See ?to.period quantmod also has a ?periodReturn function that may be of interest. Some examples of all the above can be found at http://www.quantmod.com http://www.quantmod.com HTH Jeff tedzzx wrote: > > Hi all > I have some tick-by-tick data and I have calculated the intraday returns. > I want to sum up the intraday squared returns to calculate the daily > volatility(or daily variance).
