I am more than 'a little disappointed' that you expect a detailed explanation of the problems with your 'bug' report, especially as you did not provide any explanation yourself as to your reasoning (nor did you provide any credentials nor references). Note that 1) Your report did not make clea

Re: [Rd] bug in ccf (PR#8893)

2006-05-23 Thread ripley
In time-aligning the two series there will be missing values, and you cannot compute a ccf for series with missing values, hence the problem. ccf(x, y, na.action=na.contiguous) works. I guess that using ts.intersect rather than ts.union would be a simple workaround for this by automatically trim

This may be related to the problems with "greedy" search for inherited methods discussed previously on this list (or may not, it's a bit different). In any case, the likely fix will be a substantial cleaning up of generic functions hoped for in the next release. Meanwhile, "Keep it simple" is
