Dear R-helpers, I have a time series analysis problem in R: I want to analyse the output of my simulation model which is proportional cover of shrubs in a savanna plot for each of 500 successive years. I have run the model (which includes stochasticity, especially in the initial conditions) 17 times generating 17 time series of shrub cover. I am interested in a possible periodicity of shrub

...5th order lag polynomial model with for example coeffs Coefficients: ar1 ar2 ar3 ar4 ar5 0.4715 0.067 -0.1772 0.0256 -0.2550 s.e. 0.1421 0.158 0.1569 0.1602 0.1469 Is it possible (I doubt it but am just checking) to define a more parsimonous lag1 and lag 5 model with coeff ar1 and ar5? Or do I need one of the other TS packages? thanks Gerard ********************************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may cont...

Hi, I have some general questions about statistical analysis for a research dataset and a request for advice on using R and associated packages for a valid analysis of this data. I can only pose the problem as how to run multiple ANOVA tests on time series data, with reasonable controls of the family-wise error rate. If we run analysis at many small sections of a long time-series, the Type-I
