How about this?

untested since no data is provided.

a <- paste("x",1:6,sep="")
b<- combn(a,2)

coint<-function (x)
{
        x1 <- get(x[1])
        x2 <- get(x[2])
       adfdata(x1)
       adfdata(x2)

       engle<-lm(x1~x2)
       residual<-resid(engle)
       adfresd(residual, k=1)

                               par(mfrow=c(2,1))
                               ts.plot(x1)
                               ts.plot(x2)
                               ts.plot(residual)
}


apply(b,2,coint)


Careful with the plots, you may just overwrite them on default device. One way to overcome it is to plot them to a pdf and name them appropriately for each iteration.

Hi everyone,
I am writing a code for cointegration between n (n=6 initially) pairs.

I have done the whole thing for 2 variables. There is a function coint(x1,x2) that takes 2 inputs x1 and x2 and does the following:

coint<-function (x1,x2)
{
       adfdata(x1)
       adfdata(x2)

       engle<-lm(x1~x2)
       residual<-resid(engle)
       adfresd(residual, k=1)

                               par(mfrow=c(2,1))
                               ts.plot(x1)
                               ts.plot(x2)
                               ts.plot(residual)
}

Where X1,x2,..,x6 are time series of length 250 or more

Where adfdata() is a function that calculates the adf test for x1 and x2. There are 6 variables in total (x1,x2,...,x6) and I want to calculate this function coint for the permutation of these variables. That is coint(x1,x2); coint(x1,x3); coint(x1,x4);...coint(x6,x5) (without repetition because x1,x1 are cointegrated already)

I thought about creating an array with the combinations Xi,Xj and apply the function to each combination in the array but I could not get it to work...
I would really appreciate if someone could help me on this!

Thank you,
Kind regards,
Thiago
