[R] How to estimate weekly Variance

[Felipe Carrillo]

Dear All:
Using the Excel formula below I am able to estimate
daily variance(Daily VarPD)for PD,but I can't figure
out how to estimate the Weekly variance for PD. Any
hints?

Daily VarPD = (PD * (1 - TD))/TD + VarTD *
((PD*(1-TD)+ PD^2*TD))/TD^3


WK	TD	          VARTD      PD	  Daily VarPD
28	0.014735	0.0000449	0	0
