Hello all, I'm just starting to learn R and I heard a good way of doing that was R Commander. For my work I use a lot of time series, so I installed (and loaded) R Commander with epack. When I go to Ts-Models, after loading my data, I click on ARIMA Models tab. I load my variable D1 Ln Demand (1st differenced ln demand). I set my regular and seasonal p d q settings hit run and I get: [1] "Error in list(order = c(0, 1, 0), period = ) : argument 2 is empty\n" attr(,"class") [1] "try-error" attr(,"condition") <simpleError in list(order = c(0, 1, 0), period = ): argument 2 is empty> I assume it means the period is empty? But there was no option to set that. It says in the messages sections: [4] ERROR: argument 2 is empty [5] ERROR: the model ArimaModel.1 is no longer available [6] ERROR: There are no models from which to choose. [7] ERROR: argument 2 is empty [8] ERROR: the model ArimaModel.2 is no longer available [9] ERROR: argument 2 is empty [10] ERROR: the model ArimaModel.4 is no longer available Thoughts? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-Commander-Time-Series-tp4639765.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
I don't think a lot of people here use R Commander so diagnosing something from there may be difficult. Probably the first thing to do is to supply us with some sample data. The best way do do this is usually to use the dput() command and just copy and paste the output into your email . If it is a lot of data try something like head(dput(mydata, 50)) which should supply 50 rows of data.. I think you can do this by typing it in the Script window. Also we should see the output window commands and error messages. BTW, nice as Rcmdr is, in the longer run, I think you are better off with a terminal and good R editor. Tinn-R for Windows or gedit for linux are not bad and some fanatics love EMACS with ESS :) Wecome to R.

Dear Billpete002, This looks to me like it's possibly a bug in RcmdrPlugin.epack -- that is, you may have done something wrong, but I'd expect in this case that the timeseries plug=in would intercept the error and return an informative error message. You might want to correspond directly with the author of the plug-in package, Erin Hodgess. I'm copying my response to Erin in case she didn't notice your posting.
