Thanks, Gabor. Here are the problems I'm trying to solve. *FIRST*, I run this to simulate a 20 years time series process. The data from 1-15 years are used to estimate the model, and this model is used to predict the year from 16-20. The following script works.
set.seed(123) tt <- ts(cbind(Y = 1:20, x = rnorm(20), z = rnorm(20))) L <- function(x, k = 1) lag(x, -k) tt.zoo <- as.zoo(tt) fit <- dyn$lm(Y ~ L(Y) + z + L(x, 0:1), tt.zoo[(1:15), ]) fit pred <- predict(fit, tt.zoo[(16:20),]) pred *SECONDLY*, I use similar script, but pretend that we do not know the Y data from year 16-20. We know x and z for year 16-20, and use them predict Y based on the model estimated from 1-15 years. So, in the "newdata" part, I use tt.zoo[(16:20), (2:3)] to remove the Y out. here is the script. Unfortunately, it does not work in that way. pred1 <- predict(fit, tt.zoo[(16:20),(2:3)]) pred1 It will be greatly appreciated if you can give me some guide on this. Thanks.
