Hi, I am trying to fit all subsets for a vector autoregression with exogenous variables. I have been looking at the 'leaps' function but I not sure how to get it to work when lags for each variable are included in the model. I would be really appreciative if someone could provide some links to examples. Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context:

I've posted this before but have not been able to locate what I'm doing wrong. I cannot determine how the forecast is made using the estimated coefficients from a simple AR(2) model when there is an exogenous variable. Does anyone know what the problem is? The help file for arima doesn't show the model with any exogenous variables. I haven't been able to locate any documents

Hi List l am interested in developing price model. I have found a research paper related to price model of corn in US market where it has taken demand & supply forces into consideration. Following are the equation: Supply equation: St= a0+a1Pt-1+a2Rt-1+a3St-1+a5D1+a6D2+a7D3+U1 -(1) Where D1,D2,D3=Quarterly Dummy Variables(Since quarterly data are considered) Here, Supply

I'm trying to do the following out of sample regression with autoregressive terms and additional x variables: y(t+1)=const+B(L)*y(t)+C(1)*x_1(t)...+C(K)*x_K(t) where: B(L) = lag polynom. for AR terms C(1..K) = are the coeffs. on K exogenous variables that have only 1 lag Question 1: ----------- Suppose I use arima to fit the model:

I am fitting a reduced form VAR model using VAR in the vars library. I have several endogenous variables, and two exogenous variables. I would like to explore the effects of a shock to one of the exogenous variables on one of the endogenous variables. Using irf in the vars library only calculates the irf for the endogenous variables, this is obviously by design, is there some theoretical

>From the help document on KalmanLike, KalmanRun, etc., I see the linear Gaussian state space model is a <- T a + R e y = Z' a + eta following the book of Durbin and Koopman. In practice, it is useful to run Kalman filtering/smoothing/forecasting with exogenous factor: a <- T a + L b + R e y = Z' a + M b + eta where b is some known vector (a function of time). Some other

Hello all, I have been using R's time series capabilities to perform analysis for quite some time now and I am having some questions regarding its reliability. In several cases I have had substantial disagreement between R and other packages (such as gretl and the commercial EViews package). I have just encountered another problem and thought I'd post it to the list. In this case,

Hi, I have the following problem. It has two parts. 1. I need to calculate the stationary probabilities of a Markov chain, eg if the transition matrix is P, I need x such that xP = x in other words, the left eigenvectors of P which have an eigenvalue of one. Currently I am using eigen(t(P)) and then pick out the vectors I need. However, this seems to be an overkill (I only need a single

Is there any package for Vector Auto-regressive with exogenous variable other than fastVAR? Because it is not able to solve my problem of not taking the base in the model. Please suggest some appropriate solution!!!! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Is-there-any-package-for-Vector-Auto-regressive-with-exogenous-variable-other-than-fastVAR-tp4644964.html Sent from

Hello, I have the similar issue in estimating a GARCH model with exogenous variables in the mean equation. Currently, to my understanding, the garch function in tseries package can handle univariate model, and garchFit in fGarch can handle ARMA specification. I wonder if there is any R function that can handle exogenous variables in estimating GARCH? Thank you a lot. Edwin -- View this

Hi, I would like to use the sem package to perform a path analysis (no latent variables) with a mixture of 2 nominal exogenous, 1 continuous exogenous, and 4 continuous endogenous variables. I seek advice as to how to calculate the appropriate covariance matrix for use with the sem package. I have read through the polycor package, and am confused as to the use of "numeric" for

Dear helpers, I wrote a code which estimates a multi-equation model with generalized least squares (GLS). I can use GLS because I know the covariance matrix of the residuals a priori. However, it is a bit slow and I wonder if anybody would be able to point out a way to make it faster (it is part of a bigger code and needs to run several times). Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Carlo

I'm using the arima function to estimate coefficients and also using predict.Arima to forecast. This works nicely and I can see that the results are the same as using SAS's proc arima. I can also take the coefficent estimates for a simple model like ARIMA(2,1,0) and manually compute the forecast. The results agree to 5 or 6 decimal places. I can do this for models with and without

Hi all, The meeting minutes and logs for the community meeting held on Wednesday are available at the links below. [1][2][3][4] We had a good showing this meeting. Thank you everyone who attended this meeting. Our next meeting will be on 19th July. Everyone is welcome to attend. The meeting note pad is available at [5] to add your topics for discussion.

Hi R-helpers, I'm new to time series modelling, but my requirement seems to fall just outside the capabilities of the arima function in R. I'd like to fit an ARMA model where the variance of the disturbances is a function of some exogenous variable. So something like: Y_t = a_0 + a_1 * Y_(t-1) +...+ a_p * Y_(t-p) + b_1 * e_(t-1) +...+ b_q * e_(t-q) + e_t, where e_t ~ N(0, sigma^2_t),

I am looking for a Kalman filter that can handle a control input. I thought that l.SS was suitable however, I can't get it to work, and wonder if I am not using the right function. What I want is a Kalman filter that accepts exogenous inputs where the input is found using the algebraic Ricatti equation solution to a penalty function. If K is the gain matrix then the exogenous input

Hi R enthusiasts, I am happy to announce a new package available on CRAN, bestNormalize (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bestNormalize/). bestNormalize can be used for estimating a suite of normalizing transformations, including a new technique based on ranks which can guarantee normally distributed transformed data if there are no ties: ordered quantile normalization. The package is

I've been trying to create a Linux distribution based on CentOS 5, similar to (actually, exactly like) how CentOS is based on RHEL. I have been unable to find any information about this. Most of what I find are tutorials and instructions on using Kickstart. Sometimes I've found allusions to doing this, but nothing that gives all the instructions necessary to modify Anaconda (or other

Hi, New to both R and SEM, so this may be a very simple question. I am trying to run a very simple path analysis using the sem package. There are 2 exogenous (FARSCH, LOCUS10) and 2 endogenous (T_ATTENT, RMTEST) observed variables in the model. The idea is that T_ATTENT mediates the effect of FARSCH and LOCUS10 on RMTEST. The RAM specification I used is FARSCH -> T_ATTENT, y1x1, NA
