R使用PerformanceAnalytics包绘制“ xy.coords（x，y）中的错误”

Question

I'm getting error Error in xy.coords(x, y) : 'x' and 'y' lengths differ when plotting xts object RETURNS. The plotting function used is charts.PerformanceSummary , from the package PerformanceAnalytics .

Would anyone know how to fix this? It plots regardless of the error, but the presence of an error makes conversion to HTML with knitr package fail. Interestingly running the same plotting function on a similar xts object works fine. I'm baffled.

library(PerformanceAnalytics)

#RETURNS and RETSBYDAY are 1xN xts objects.
#RETURNS has an NA value and RETSBYDAY has none; including na.rm=T makes no difference.

I don't get an error using performanceanalytics version 1.4.3541. Perhaps update your version?

I do get warnings though, that "na.rm is not a graphical parameter" when calling charts.PerformanceSummary with na.rm = TRUE . This warning arises because na.rm = T is passed into the function as an extra parameter (because the function has the special parameter ... ), which is then passed on to the charting functions inside charts.PerformanceSummary , which include chart.CumReturns , chart.BarVaR , and chart.Drawdown , all of which accept passthrough parameters via ... = ... in their function calls inside charts.PerformanceSummary .

You can't assume every function in R will use na.rm = TRUE to remove NAs. Just mostly base functions like mean , sum , etc... It would be safer to remove the NAs before passing data to a function, if you get errors arising from the NAs in the function call. In case you are not aware, this can usually be easily done in a one liner, such as RETURNS <- RETURNS[!is.na(RETURNS),]
