Hi Clara,

Your example works fine on my Apple Mac running
R 2.6.0.

You should include the output of 
sessionInfo()
so others will know what platorm you are working on.

Call:
ar(x = x, aic = TRUE, demean = F)


Order selected 0  sigma^2 estimated as  1.482 
> res.ar<-ar(x,aic=TRUE,demean=F)
> res.ar

Call:
ar(x = x, aic = TRUE, demean = F)

Dears Sirs

During my computational work I encountered unexpected behavior when calling
"ar" function, namely
# time series
x<-ts(c(-0.2052083,-0.3764986,-0.3762448,0.3740089,0.2737568,2.8235722,-
1.7783313,0.2728676,-0.3273164),start=c(1978,3),frequency=4,end=c(1980,3))

# ar function
res.ar<-ar(x,aic=TRUE,demean=F)

# call "ar" again and ............
res.ar<-ar(x,aic=TRUE,demean=F)
Error in if (order > 0) coefs[order, 1:order] else numeric(0) :
  missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In log(var.pred) : NaNs produced
2: In if (order > 0) coefs[order, 1:order] else numeric(0) :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

For me it is mysterious why sometimes it works and others it does not,
perhaps I am doing something wrong and stupid :-(

If anyone had already had this problem could you please tell me how you have
solved it?

Thank you for your time.

Best Regards,

Clara Cordeiro
