R help - Jan 2011 - How to include a few selected AR terms

Dear R family,

I have a quick question.

m3=arima(zt,order=c(6,0,2)) % fit an ARIMA(6,0,2) model to zt.

This equation contains all 6 AR terms plus 1 MA term.
I want to include only AR(2) and MA(1) excluding the other terms.
How could I accomplish it?

best,
moohwan

First of all, the order specified is the maximum required order so in your
case the logical arima call would be:
arima(zt,order=c(2,0,1)) 
This still includes the AR(1) term, which can be excluded using the fixed
command.
Assuming you have 4 parameters (AR1 AR2 MA1 Intercept) this is the solution:
arima(zt,order=c(2,0,1),fixed=c(0,NA, NA, NA)) 

Suppose you wanted the AR1, AR6, MA1 and intercept, this would be your call:
arima(zt,order=c(2,0,1),fixed=c(NA,0,0,0,0,NA, NA, NA)) 

Hope this helps,
Dennis Jaheruddin
