Here is the summary on predict when using an arima0 object: The arima0 object must be based on a time series vector. That is; x <- ts(xm1, frequency=12, start=c(1975,1)) x.ar <- arima0(x,order=c(1,1,1)) predict(x.ar,n.ahead=3) Thanks so much to Prof. Brian Ripley and David Brahm and other! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess
