  • Data Visualisation
  • Import Data
  • R Programming

This is the second part of the 4-series articles about Dow Jones Stock Market. To read the first part go to this link. In this part, I am going to analyze the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) trade volume.

Getting Data

We upload the environment status as saved at the end of part 1.

load(file='DowEnvironment.RData')

Daily Volume Exploratory Analysis

From the saved environment, we can find back our DJI object. We plot the daily volume.

3
dj_vol <- DJI[,"DJI.Volume"]
plot(dj_vol)

It is remarkable the level jump at the beginning of 2017, something that we will investigate in part 4.

We transform the volume time series data and timeline index into a dataframe.

The trade volume starts to decrease from 2010 and on 2017 a remarkable increase occurred. Year 2018 volume has been even larger than 2017 and other years as well.

QQ plots
dataframe_qqplot(dj_vol_df, "DJIA daily volume QQ plots 2007-2018")

QQplots visually confirm the non-normality of daily trade volume distribution.

Daily volume log-ratio Exploratory Analysis

Similarly to log-returns, we can define the trade volume log ratio as.

[v_{t}\ := ln \frac{V_{t}}{V_{t-1}}]We can compute it by CalculateReturns within the PerformanceAnalytics package and plot it.

dj_vol_log_ratio <- CalculateReturns(dj_vol, "log")
dj_vol_log_ratio <- na.omit(dj_vol_log_ratio)
plot(dj_vol_log_ratio)
