Put your time series into a ts or zoo object. Now using EuStockMarkets which is builtin data set in R. (You might want to use align = "right" in rollapply.)
library(tseries) library(zoo) eu91 <- window(EuStockMarkets, end = 1992) # use portion for test data eu91.p.value <- rollapply(eu91, 61, function(x) adf.test(x)$p.value) On 8/28/06, Spiros Mesomeris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I've got a matrix called EUROPEDATA and I want to calculate the adf test > statistic (part of the tseries package) on a rolling basis for window my.win > on each column; i.e. each column of EUROPEDATA represents a particular > variable; for the first column I calculate the adf test statistic for window > my.win = 60 for example, roll forward one observation, calculate the adf > again, and so on, until the end of the first column is reached and then I > jump to the second column etc. The code for doing this is given below: > > adfroll <- sapply(1:(ncol(EUROPEDATA)), function(i, my.data, my.win) > { > sss <- sapply(1:(nrow(my.data)-my.win), function (j, my.data, my.win) > { my.data <- as.matrix(my.data) > ans <- adf.test(na.omit(my.data[j:(j+my.win)])) > return(ans$p.value) > },my.data=my.data[,i],my.win=my.win) > },my.data=EUROPEDATA,my.win=60,simplify=T) > > The problem is that the adf test does not calculate this way.
