yes, you can just pulldown the tar.gz file and tar -xvf it and that will give you many directories one of which will contain the source. I've done that with the vars package in the past ( bernhard's code is very nice to read ) and I would just send you the code to predict.varest but I don't think predict was there when I pulled down the code. I think it's a fairly new function.

The following code sample illustrates what I am trying to do and the error that I get when trying to do it. I run the following code, that results in the following error: data(Canada) endoC <- Canada[1:72,1:3] exoC <- Canada[1:72,4] var.2c <- VAR(endoC, p = 2, season=12,exogen=exoC,type = "const") exoC_2 <- as.matrix(Canada[73:84,4]) predict(var.2c, n.ahead = 12,dumvar=exoC_2) Error: Error in as.matrix(cycle, nrow = season, ncol = season - 1) : unused argument(s) (nrow = 12, ncol = 11) from what I can guess, the predict.varest function is using as.matrix() and passing nrow and ncol, as.matrix() does not take those two parameters but matrix() does. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to get around it? Is there a way I can get to the predict.varest() function and alter it myself?
