In qomaio/rhli: An R Implementation of the FIS MarketMap C-Toolkit

R Host Language Interface

The rhli package offers complete access from R to the FIS MarketMap C-Toolkit ("FAME C-HLI"). The qoma.smuggler package offers higher level functionality when working with both R and FAME.

FAME is a fully integrated software and database management system from FIS that provides the following capabilities:

• Time series and cross-sectional data management;
• Financial calculation, data analysis, econometrics, and forecasting;
• Table generation and detailed multicolor, presentation-quality report writing;
• Multicolor, presentation-quality graphics;
• "What-if" analysis;
• Application development and structured programming;
• Data transfer to and from other applications;
• Tools for building customized graphical user interfaces.

Prerequisites

• Install R Studio and successfully render an R Markdown page.
• Install FAME and successfully enter and exit the FAME 4GL environment.

Installation and testing

From an R console,

• install.packages("rhli")
• source(paste(find.package("rhli"),"examples/HelloWorld.R",sep="/"))

From an R console inside R Studio,

• file.edit(paste(find.package("rhli"),"examples/0-hello-rhli.Rmd",sep="/"))
  • from the editor, hit the Knitr button to render the R Markdown example

On first use, you will be directed to a website to obtain a QOMA_PIN which will entitle you to use the RHLI for the duration of your FAME license.
