Common logarithm for financial time series object

collapse all in page

log10 is not recommended. Use timetable instead. For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects fints to Timetables.

Syntax

newfts = log10(tsobj)

Description

example

newfts = log10(tsobj) calculates the common logarithm (base 10) of all the data in the data series of the financial time series object tsobj and returns the result in the object newfts.

Examples

  1. Create a fints object.

    dates_and_times = (now:now+5)'
    dates_and_times =

   1.0e+05 *

    7.3840
    7.3840
    7.3840
    7.3841
    7.3841
    7.3841

     tsobj = fints(dates_and_times, randn(6,1))
    Warning: FINTS is not recommended. Use TIMETABLE instead. For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects (fints) to Timetables. 
> In fints (line 169) 
    tsobj = 
 
    desc:  (none)
    freq:  Unknown (0)

    {'dates:  (6)'}    {'times:  (6)'}    {'series1:  (6)'}
    {'07-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[       0.5377]}
    {'08-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[       1.8339]}
    {'09-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[      -2.2588]}
    {'10-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[       0.8622]}
    {'11-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[       0.3188]}
    {'12-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[      -1.3077]}

  2. Calculate the common logarithm using log10.

    newfts = log10(tsobj)
    Warning: FINTS is not recommended. Use TIMETABLE instead. For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects (fints) to Timetables. 
> In fints/log10 (line 21) 
 
newfts = 
 
    desc:  LOG10 of 
    freq:  Unknown (0)

    {'dates:  (6)'}    {'times:  (6)'}    {'series1:  (6)'   }
    {'07-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[         -0.2695]}
    {'08-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[          0.2634]}
    {'09-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[0.3539 + 1.3644i]}
    {'10-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[         -0.0644]}
    {'11-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[         -0.4965]}
    {'12-Sep-2021'}    {'12:30'      }    {[0.1165 + 1.3644i]}
