compoundInterest {FinTS} | R Documentation |
Compute compound interest for a given number of periods, compounding with an indicated frequency per period.
compoundInterest(interest,periods=1,frequency=1,net.value=FALSE) simple2logReturns(R)
interest |
rate of interest per period (usually per year) |
periods |
number of periods over which to compound |
frequency |
number of times per period to compound; frequency=Inf to convert simple to log returns |
net.value |
if TRUE, return the total value per unit invested; otherwise return net increase = (net value - 1) |
R |
simple interest to be converted to log(returns) |
These functions are vectorized for all arguments. (The code uses optionally expm1(x) = (exp(x) - 1) and log1p(x)=(log(1+x) which can preserve numerical precision for x very close to 0.)
vector of the length of the longest argument.
