Dear R-helpers. Would appreciate if someone can explain the warning messages below, after auto.arima. I couldn't find any clue in the archived help. Also, how do I retrieve the AICs of each tried model in auto.arima? The purposes are (1) to output to a text file, and (2) to find the 2nd best model by finding 2nd lowest AIC instead of eyeballing thru the value at the console screen. For those models with drift, how can I find out what are the drifts? For example, eyeballing thru, my 2nd best model is ARIMA(1,1,1) with drift but it didn't state what is the drift. Many thanks. > modelarima <- auto.arima(Price[1:nTrain], trace=TRUE) ARIMA(2,1,2) with drift : 4417.541 ARIMA(0,1,0) with drift : 4538.817 ARIMA(1,1,0) with drift : 4424.534 ARIMA(0,1,1) with drift : 4457.507 ARIMA(1,1,2) with drift : 4416.070 ARIMA(1,1,1) with drift : 4414.328 ARIMA(1,1,1) : 4413.551 ARIMA(0,1,1) : 4458.788 ARIMA(2,1,1) : 4415.887 ARIMA(1,1,0) : 4424.668 ARIMA(1,1,2) : 4415.277 ARIMA(0,1,0) : 4542.161 ARIMA(2,1,2) : 4416.889 Best model: ARIMA(1,1,1) Warning message: In if (class(fit) != "try-error") offset <- -2 * fit$loglik - length(x) * : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used ---- Chua Siang Li Consultant - Operations Research Acceval Pte Ltd Tel: 6297 8740 Email: siang.li.chua at acceval-intl.com Website: www.acceval-intl.com This message and any attachments (the "message"...{{dropped:13}}
