similar to: interaction term between two categorical variables in ARIMA

I am using arima to develop a time series regression model, I am using arima b/c I have autocorrelated errors. Several of my independent variables are categorical and I have coded them as factors . When I run ARIMA I don't get any warning or error message, but I do not seem to get estimates for all the levels of the factor. Can/how does ARIMA handle factors in xreg? here is some example

Hello all, I use arima to fit the model with fit <- arima(y, order = c(1,0,1), xreg = list.indep, include.mean = TRUE) and would like to use predict() to forecast: chn.forecast <- rep(0,times=num.record) chn.forecast[1] <- y[1] for (j in 2:num.record){ indep <- c(aa=chn.forecast[j-1], list.indep[j,2:num.indep]) # this is the newxreg in the

When I run predict.Arima in my code, I get warnings like: Warning message: In cbind(intercept = rep(1, n), xreg) : number of rows of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg 1) I think this is because I'm not running predict.Arima in the same environment that I did the fit, so the data object used in the fit is no longer present. Looking at the predict.Arima source,

Hi, I am trying to understand exactly what xreg does in arima. The documentation for xreg says:"xreg Optionally, a vector or matrix of external regressors, which must have the same number of rows as x." What does this mean with regard to the action of xreg in arima? Apparently somehow xreg made the following two arima fit equivalent in R: arima(x, order=c(1,1,1), xreg=1:length(x)) is

hi: you should probably send below to R-Sig-Finance because there are some econometrics people over there who could also possibly give you a good answer and may not see this email ? Also, there's package called mar ( I think that's the name ) that may do what you want ? Finally, I don't know how to do it but I think there are ways of converting a multivariate arima into the

Hello,guys: Recently, I am working on a seasonal ARIMA model. And I met some problem in the forecasting. Now I just want to know that How does R perform the predict procedure(the predict formula, the initial setting of errors,etc.)? I run the following commands and get the original code of the "predict" command, but I can't read it. Can anybody explain it to me? Thanks! saji from

Dear R-help-archive.. I am trying to figure out how to make arima prediction when I have a process involving multivariate time series input, and one output time series (output is to be predicted) .. (thus strictly speaking its an ARMAX process). I know that the arima function of R was not designed to handle multivariate analysis (there is dse but it doesnt handle arma multivariate analysis, only

As I am reading ?arima, only NA entries in the argument fixed= imports. The following seems to indicate otherwise: x <- arima.sim(model=list(ar=0.8), n=100) + (1:100)/50 > t <- 1:100 > mod1 <- lm(x ~ t) > > init1 <- c(0, coef(mod1)[2]) > fixed1 <- c(as.numeric(NA), 0) > > arima(x, order=c(1,0,0), xreg=t, include.mean=FALSE, init=init1, fixed=fixed1)

Thanks a lot to everybody that helped me out with this. Conclusions: (1) In order to edit arima in R: >fix(arima) or alternatively: >arima<-edit(arima) (2) This is not contained in the "Introduction to R" manual. (3) A "productive" fix of arima is attached (arma coefficients printed out and error catched so that it doesn't halt parent loops to search for

David Stoffer describes some challenges with R's output when fitting ARIMA models for different orders (see Issue 2 at http://www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/tsa2/Rissues.htm). R doesn't fit an intercept in the model if there is any differencing. David describes a workaround using the xreg parameter to force R to calculate an intercept. Assume I have a variable y and 3 explanatory variables a,

Hi, Using arima on data that are in a data frame, especially when adding xreg, would be much easier if the arima function contained 1) a "data=" argument 2) the possibility to include the covariate(s) in a formula style. Ideally the call could be something like > arima(symptome, order=c(1,0,0), xreg=~trait01*mesure0, data=anxiete) ( or arima(symptome~trait01*mesure0,

I am having some issues with differencing using auto.arima when also specifying an xreg dataframe. The xreg dataframe contains dummy variables that specify time periods that had a promotion running. When I model diff(y) with order (1,0,1), the coefficients for these dummy variables are very different than when I model y with order=(1,1,1). I think when modeling diff(y) the coefficients

Hello, Does anybody know if the function arima with an external regressor (xreg) applies the auto correlation on the dependant variable or on the residuals. In comparison with SAS (proc autoreg), it seems that the auto correlation applies on the residuals but i'd like to have the confirmation. I want to estimate: Y[t] = a[1]*X[t] + a[2] + E[t] with E[t]=b[1]*E[t-1] Should I use : arima(Y,

Hello, Does anyone know how the parameter estimates are calculated for xreg variables when called as part of an arima() command, or know of any literature that provides this info? In particular, I was wondering if there is a quick way to compare different combinations of "xreg" variables in the arima() fit in the same way that you would in multiple regression (using AIC & R^2

Dear all, I just have a short question regarding the forecasting of ARIMA models with external regressors. I tried to program a ARX(1) model arx.mod <- arima(reihe.lern, order = c(1, 0, 0), seasonal = list(order = c(0, 0, 0), period = 52), xreg = lern.design, include.mean = TRUE) for which I need to estimate the next (105th) value. Xreg=lern.design is - at this time - 104 rows long. I

Hello, I'm running a number of arima models using the "arima" function. Often, when lag length gets too high, these model don't converge and an error message appears as this: > reg <- arima(y,order=c(7,0,7),xreg=isr) Warning message: In arima(y, order = c(7, 0, 7), xreg = isr) : possible convergence problem: optim gave code=1 In this case, when you print the results

Hi all, I have two time series that I would like to correlate but as they are autocorrelated, I am "pre-whitening" them first by fitting ARIMA models, then correlating their residuals....as described in https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat510/?q=node/75 However, http://www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/tsa2/Rissues.htm discusses some issues with ARIMA in R. In particular, for issue 2, if

Hello I want to fit an AR model were two of the coefficients are fixed to zero (the second and third ar-coefficients). I used the "arima" function with the "fixed" argument but the ar3 coefficient is not set to zero: ============================================== > arima(Y, order=c(4,0,0), xreg=1:23, fixed=c(NA,0,0,NA,NA,NA)) Call: arima(x = Y, order = c(4, 0, 0), xreg =

Hello, I am a beginner user of R and I would like to estimate a model with AR errors. I use arima function: modele <-arima(conso,xreg=var.exogenes,order=c(ordre,0,0),include.mean=TRUE,method ="CSS") My inputs are dummies for each month except one, and the same thing for each day and each hour.
