Hi, I hope that you are doing well. I am Md Hossain, trying to fit the ARIMAX model in RJAGS. However, I got an error message while I ran the code. Initially, I am using data obtained from R-package then I will implement it into real data. The code and error message are given below. library(rjags) #### load the data data("mtcars") #### select the response and predictor variables y <- mtcars$mpg x <- mtcars[,c("wt","qsec")] ### write the JAGS model code jags_arimax_model <- " model { beta0 ~ dnorm(0,0.0001) beta1 ~ dnorm(0,0.0001) beta2 ~ dnorm(0,0.0001) phi ~ dnorm(0,0.0001) tau ~ dgamma(0.001,0.001) ##### beta0a[1] <- beta0 beta1a[1] <- beta1 beta2a[1] <- beta2 phia[1] <- phi mu[1] <- beta0a + beta1a * x[1,1] + beta2a * x[1,2] + phia * y[2] ypred[1] ~ dnorm(mu[1], tau) ###### for (i in 2:length(y)) { mu[i] <- beta0 + beta1 * x[i,1] + beta2 * x[i,2] + phi * y[i-1] ypred[i] ~ dnorm(mu[i], tau) } } " ####Fit the Bayesian ARIMAX model using JAGS: jags_arimax_fit <- jags.model(textConnection(jags_arimax_model), data list(y = y, x = x) ) update(jags_arimax_fit, n.iter=2000, thin=1) #### output_arimax=coda.samples(model=jags_arimax_fit, variable.names="ypred", n.iter=2000, thin=5) However, I got the following error message. *Error in update.jags(model, n.iter, ...) : Error in node ypred[1]Invalid parent values* Please help me in this regard.
