Thanks for the referral. I really enjoy your site.
I attended your 2008 talk on time series analysis in R at the workshop coordinated by John Maindonald. I notice that many of the useful materials from the talk are still online: http://bit.ly/cdCCuO

There was that site, with a good idea… http://addictedtor.free.fr/movies/ it seems it never kicked off, though.

The coefficients are stored in the object returned by auto.arima(). Use attributes() to see what is stored.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the wonderful forecast package. I have a question about it. I would like to use the auto.arima method in the forecast package to generate a model. I would like to store the coefficients (e.g. ma1, sma1 etc.) generated by the algorithm and use that in a java program to predict the value at any given time. What equation can I use to do the same? Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your quick respose. I found it in C:\Program Files (x86)\R\R-2.10.1\bin. However, when I run Rcmd install mypackage. it showed it can’t open perl script “C:\PROGRA~2\R\R-210~1.1\bin\install”.

I cannot find it either , I changed path in way as above.

Do you have suggestion? Thanks.

have a good day!

If Rcmd is not recognized at the DOS prompt then you don’t have the path to the R bin directory set up properly (step 1.3). Type “path” at the DOS prompt and check that the directory is listed.

I have done my R package on UNIX, and it did not work in Windows. I tried to build R package using above steps.

But there is no RCMD command on DOS prompt , it show it is not recognized as internal or external command.

Do you know the reason? My PC os is windows7. Thanks

Thanks. It seems that the Australian CTAN mirror (at unsw) is claiming to be up-to-date but in fact is missing a lot of updates to packages. When I switched to dante I received this update, but not from unsw, despite both showing the same date.
