Three data stes used in chapter 3 are also used in chapter 1 or 2 and
are documented with 'ch01data' or 'ch02data': In particular,
'm.intc7303' and 'd.ibmvwewsp6203' are used in chapters 1 and 3 and
are documented with 'ch01data'; 'm.ibm2697' is used in chapters 2 and
3 is documented with ch02data.
The other data sets used in chapter 3 are as follows:
- exch.perc
{
numeric vector of length 2497 giving percentage changes in the
exchange rate between the German mark and the US dollar in 10 minute
intervals, June 5-19, 1989. (The book describes analyses of 2488
observations. If these 2497 observations are plotted, it is
difficult to see any differences from Figure 3.2.)
}
- sp500
{
object of class 'zooreg' giving the monthly excess returns of the
S&P 500 index starting from 1926. This zooreg object is labeled
assuming it starts in January, though the book does not say whether
it starts in January or just some time in 1926. (Many of the files
included date with the data, but 'sp500.dat' did not.)
}
- m.ibmspln
{
object of class 'zooreg' giving the monthly log returns of IBM stock
and S&P 500 index from January 1926 to December 1999 for 888
observations. NOTE: The examples in the book use only the first
864 of these observations.
}
- m.ibmsplnsu
{
same as 'm.ibmspln' but with a third column 'summer' that is 1 in
June, July and August, and 0 otherwise.
}
- d.sp8099
{
zoo object giving the average daily returns of the S&P 500 from 1980
through 1999.
