Dear members,
                             I am using the forecast package for arfima
modelling. THe following is the code:
> arfima(ygrpch(OHLCDataEP[[1]]))
Call:
  arfima(y = ygrpch(OHLCDataEP[[1]]))
*** Warning during (fdcov) fit: unable to compute correlation matrix; maybe
change 'h'
Coefficients:
        d    ma.ma1
0.1745253 0.1600765
sigma[eps] = 34.4493
a list with components:
 [1] "log.likelihood"  "n"               "msg"    
"d"               "ar"
 [6] "ma"              "covariance.dpq" 
"fnormMin"        "sigma"           "stderror.dpq"
[11] "correlation.dpq" "h"               "d.tol"  
"M"               "hessian.dpq"
[16] "length.w"        "residuals"       "fitted" 
"call"            "x"
[21] "series"
What does the warning say? Is it Ok to proceed with it if the correlation matrix
can't be caclulated? I just want the prediction, and forecast() is working
fine:
> forecast(arfima(ygrpch(OHLCDataEP[[1]])), h = 1)
    Point Forecast     Lo 80    Hi 80     Lo 95    Hi 95
188       26.01569 -17.96402 69.99539 -41.24547 93.27684
I just want the point forecast. Is there any problem with arfima() as I am using
it?
THanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
