I'm trying to reproduce the results described in
 
https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/*checkout*/pkg/inst/doc/IntroductionToPairTrading.pdf?revision=6&root=pairtrading&pathrev=6
 [1]
(and in  
https://www.r-bloggers.com/2011/10/pair-trading-strategy-how-to-use-pairtrading-package/)

I have some minor differences, eg
in [1]:
adf.test(as.numeric(reg$spread)) Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test data: 
as.numeric(reg$spread) Dickey-Fuller = -3.6462, Lag order = 8, p-value = 0.02825
and I have: Dickey-Fuller = -3.4033, Lag order = 8, p-value = 0.05288

Also, the commands
barplot(signal,col="blue",space = 0, border = 
"blue",xaxt="n",yaxt="n",xlab="",ylab="")
par(new=TRUE)
plot(params$spread, type="l", col = "red",lwd = 3, main = "Spread & Signal")

create in my environment two separate plots (bar and line) rather than one with 
superimposed bar and line charts like in [1].

Most importantly, I have all returns 'NA':
 > return.pairtrading
           [,1]
2009-01-04   NA
2009-01-05   NA
2009-01-06   NA
2009-01-07   NA

even though the parameters for the function
return.pairtrading <- Return(price.pair, lag(signal), lag(params$hedge.ratio))
look reasonable.

Thanks! Alec

It's more of a question for R-help, but:

If you follow the URL 
https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcran.r-project.org%2Fpackage%3DPairTrading&amp;data=02%7C01%7Caschmid1%40stevens.edu%7Cc6a153bd55104ef7910208d85eb87a52%7C8d1a69ec03b54345ae21dad112f5fb4f%7C0%7C0%7C637363493716373736&amp;sdata=bsmkUniLSnS6ofp73MaG0DYToVii7VEZbzIgzZcAjR8%3D&amp;reserved=0
 ,
you'll find that the package has been archived. You can still follow the
archive link, download the package and then install (on Windows) from
the R-GUI by selecting "install from local files" in the packages menu.
(Keep in mind that packages are archived for a reason, usually.)

If you want to try Daniel's suggestion: That 'R' is not found tells you
it's not in the search path.  You can set it on Windows in the
system/environment variable settings; just add 'C:/Program Files/R
<....>/bin ' (or whereever R is installed on your system) to the path.


kind regards
    Enrico
