similar to: A question about forecasting with R

Hi R-users, I have a question relating to the HoltWinters() function. I am trying to forecast a series using the Holt Winters methodology but I am getting some unusual results. I had previously been using R for Windows version 2.7.2 and have just started using R 2.9.1. While using version 2.7.2 I was getting reasonable results however upon changing versions I found I started to see unusual

I am a new R-language user. I have set up a data frame "mydata",one of the colume of which is "skill". Now I want to select the observations whose "skill" value is equal to 1,by what command can I get it?

I want to use double-exponential smoothing to forecast time series datas,but I couldn't find it in the document,does R support this method?

I am a new R user. Now I have some problem while I use R. I have set up a data frame called "mydata". One of the colume of it was "skill". Now I want to select the observations of the frame whose "skill" value is 1,by what command can I get it?

Hi. I have to forecast a time series of a Internet network traffic bitrate. The data are in file http://www.forumaltavilla.it/joomla/datitesi/dati.datand the sampling time is every 0.05 seconds. Now, i want to use HoltWinters forecasting. This is my script. dt=1.58443823e-9 #0.05 seconds in years dati.ts=ts(scan("dati.dat"),start=0,deltat=dt) model=HoltWinters(dati.ts)

Dear All, I was wondering why the forecast for an additive HoltWinters model is given by Yhat[t+h] = a[t] + h * b[t] + s[t + 1 + (h - 1) mod p]. I am a student and new to time series analysis and forecasting. That said, I considered t = 13 and h = 1: Yhat[13+1] = a[13] + b[13] + s[13 + 1] It seems odd that to predict Yhat[14], you would need a s[14] which in turn depends on Y[14], given that

v1.0 of the forecasting bundle of packages is now on CRAN and will propagate to mirrors shortly. The forecasting bundle of R packages provides new forecasting methods, and graphical tools for displaying and analysing forecasts. It comprises the following packages: * forecast: Functions and methods for forecasting. * fma: All data sets from Makridakis, Wheelwright and Hyndman

Dear helpers I'm having a problem with function HoltWinters from package ts. I have a time series that I want to fit an Holt-Winters model and make predictions for the next values. I've already built an object of class ts to serve as input to HoltWinters. But then I get an error; I've used HoltWinters a lot of times and this never hapened > data.HW<-HoltWinters(data.ts) Error

Hi everyone, I'm using the HoltWinters() function to do a time series analysis. The function only returns the back fitted values ($fitted) after the first year of data, which is my case, is a little more than half. However, when I use the plot() function, it plots the back fit for almost the entire data set. Any ideas on how to extract the fitted values going all the way back to the start

Dear list members I want to analyze separately the months of a time series. In other words, I want to plot and fit models for each month separately. Taking the example of http://a-little-book-of-r-for-time-series.readthedocs.org/en/latest/src/timeseries.html births <- scan("http://robjhyndman.com/tsdldata/data/nybirths.dat") birthstimeseries <- ts(births, frequency=12,

Full_Name: John Bodley Version: 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (12.144.182.66) I was fitting a number of time series in R using the stats::HoltWinters method to define a single exponential smoothing model, i.e., beta = gamma = 0. I came across an example where the fitted value of alpha was not defined in the [0, 1] interval which seems to violate the lower and upper

Hey All, First time on these forums. Thanks in advance. Soooo... I have a process that was functioning well before the 2.14 update. Now the HoltWinters function is throwing an error whereby I get the following: Error in HoltWinters(sales.ts) : optimization failure I've been looking around to determine why this happens (see if I can test the data beforehand) but I haven't come

Hello all, I am looking for some help in understanding how to change the way R optimizes the smoothing constant selection process for the HoltWinters function. I'm a SAS veteran but very new to R and still learning my way around. Here is some sample data and the current HoltWinters code I'm using: rawdata <- c(294, 316, 427, 487, 441, 395, 473, 423, 389, 422, 458, 411, 433, 454,

every time i try to run HoltWinters i get this error message: > HoltWinters(z, seasonal="additive") Error in decompose(ts(x[1:wind], start = start(x), frequency = f), seasonal) : time series has no or less than 3 periods what's going on? somebody please help me. -- View this message in context:

Hello, I would like to look at the compiled C code behind HoltWinters from the stats package. Is that possible? If so where do I find it? thanks, Spencer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, i want to create an object which contains different classes: for example i have some time series and test if ARIMA models are best than HoltWinters models: for each of my time serie i want to collect in an unique object which model was the best: for some it will be an HoltWinters class and for some other an Arima class. is there any solution?? thanks in advance, with my best, erik sauleau

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way in which I could use ggplot's stat_smooth() function for add an exponential moving average. I was thinking that I could maybe use something like: >myggplot + stat_smooth (method = 'HoltWinters( data , .9 , 0, 0)') but my efforts were futile. Perhaps there is a way to write my own custom method to throw into
