trading.signals: Discretize a set of values into a set of trading signals

In DMwR2: Functions and Data for the Second Edition of "Data Mining with R"

Description

This function transforms a set of numeric values into a set of trading signals according to two thresholds: one that establishes the limit above which any value will be transformed into a buy signal ('b'), and the other that sets the value below which we have a sell signal ('s'). Between the two thresholds we will have a hold signal ('h').

Usage

trading.signals(vs, b.t, s.t)

Arguments

vs	A vector with numeric values
b.t	A number representing the buy threshold
s.t	A number representing the sell threshold

Value

A factor with three possible values 'b' (buy), 's' (sell) or 'h' (hold)
