Presented, December 5, 2002

Before you start using S+FinMetrics, take a look at the function index at the front of the S+FinMetrics Reference Guide. This will give you an overview of the categories of function available in S+FinMetrics. Detailed information about individual functions can be found in the remainder of the guide, listed alphabetically by function name.

If you're new to S-PLUS as well as S+FinMetrics, read through Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of Modelling Financial Time Series with S-PLUS for a gentle introduction to programming financial analytics. Later chapters of the book give detailed background and examples for the analytic methods included in S+FinMetrics.

The book Modelling Financial Time Series with S-PLUS is included with S+FinMetrics, and a PDF version is available on your S+FinMetrics CD-ROM and in the S+FinMetrics installation folder as the file manual.pdf. Note: this PDF file cannot be printed. Additional copies of the book may be purchased from Insightful.
