Hi everybody,

I would like to know whether R works well with high frequency time-series. I've heard about some packages such as Xts or R metrics. In any case, is R adapted to so high frequency econometric?

Thanks.

xts is highly tuned for dealing with tick data with up to microsecond timestamps (.000001 sec)

Many R packages rely on xts, and many high frequency trading firms use R extensively in their research environments. Some even use R on their analytics clusters in production, though this is significantly harder, and not nearly as common.

You'd have to say a little more about the analysis that you want to do before I could recommend more packages than just the time series class (xts).\

Regards,
