I'm not sure if it's easily doable with a ts class, but the rollapply function in the zoo package will do this easily. (Also, I find zoo to be a much more natural time-series workflow than ts so it might make the rest of your life easier as well) Michael On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 2:24 PM, Jorge

I ask the question about when to stop adding another variable even though it lowers the AIC because each time I add a variable the AIC is lower. How do I know when the model is a good fit? When to stop adding variables, keeping the model simple? Thanks, J -- View this message in context:
