Quote from cdcaveman:

Get dirty and dive in.... your wanting to do quant methods... so learn R... if you end up continually doing stuff like this there will be no getting around it... excel will only get you so far

So I'm the new R evangelist? Ha... I got hooked up r-finance IrC chat .. subscribed to some R email stuff and just play with stuff ... if you need to manipulate a big data set.. something that would freeze excel you can do in secs... if you don't wanna be bound by publicly available methods to research and you want serious power go R. Ha. How's that for a speech.. I've plotted a vol smile and surface... and just fooled around...
