R help - Mar 2012 - how calculate seasonal component & cyclic component of time series?

i am new to time series,whatever i know up till now,from that
i have uploaded time series file & what to build arma model,but for that i
want p & q values(orders)
tell me how to calculate best p & q values to find best AIC values for model

i am doing but giving error
>bhavar<-read.table(file.choose())  #taking time series file
> decompose(bhavar$V1)
Error in decompose(bhavar$V1) : time series has no or less than 2 periods

what this error is telling ?

I think you need to pass a time series object, as given in the help
page of decompose() function. From your text file it seems that you
are passing a numerical vector which is missing the key element of
Index as date for any legitimate time series data.

> HoltWinters(ts)
Error in decompose(ts(x[1L:wind], start = start(x), frequency = f),
seasonal) : 
  time series has no or less than 2 periods

is it true that order of ar(ts) function  is p-value used for arma(p,q)
calculation
> ar(ts)
Call:
ar(x = ts)

It's a file of numbers.

You asked a very similar question 8 days ago.
You were given answers.
If you want to use HoltWinters or decompose you will have to set the frequency
of your time series to something > 1.
You were told how to do that.
You were also told to have a look at the forecast package.
