Saving data in R

[startz]

It would be nice if there were an option when saving to R to have the saved series be accompanied by a date (POSIX) series rather than having row names attached and each series being a dataframe. All the series could then go into one dataframe.

I think our original idea was to save it this way, but after we added the ability to save matrices and other objects which wouldn't fit into a single dataframe, we had to do it the current way where each object is saved one item at a time.

Here's a quick workaround EViews program that can save a workfile page series objects the way you want it (including a separate @date column in the dataframe):

Code: Select all

xopen(r)
%list = @wlookup("*", "series")
xput(rtype=df, name=test) {%list} @date
xrun save.image("c:/files/out.rdata")
xclose

then if you open this rdata file in R, you'd see something like this:

That's very helpful. Thanks.

But you could still have two different R save functions...
