Please do not send HTML (as the posting guide asks) -- it has made your code unreadable.

Also, without seeing an example we don't know if the 'completely different' is in the output or corresponds to very different fitted models.

There is no 'armaFit' in R: it seems you may be using package fArma or armafit from package timsac.

What you have missed is arima() in base R, and perhaps (it is less often useful for this model) gls() in the recommended package nlme.

I suggest you try arima(), and if that does not solve this follow the footer of this message.

Hi,

how to estimate a the following model in R:

y(t)=beta0+beta1*x1(t)+beta2*x2(t)+...+beta5*x5(t)+beta6*y(t-1)+beta7*y(t-2)+beta8*y(t-3)


1) using "lm" :
dates <- as.Date(data.df[,1])
selection<-which(dates>=as.Date("1986-1-1") & 
dates<=as.Date("2007-12-31"))
dep <- ts(data.df[selection,c("dep")])
indep.ret1 <- ts(data.df[selection,c("RET1")])
indep.ret2 <- ts(data.df[selection,c("RET2")])
indep.ret3 <- ts(data.df[selection,c("RET3")])
indep.ret4 <- ts(data.df[selection,c("RET4")])
indep.ret5 <- ts(data.df[selection,c("RET5")])
d<-ts.union(dep,indep.ret1,indep.ret2,indep.ret3,indep.ret4,indep.ret5,dep.lag1=lag(dep,-1),dep.lag2=lag(dep,-2),dep.lag3=lag(dep,-3))
fit1 <- 
lm(dep~indep.ret1+indep.ret2+indep.ret3+indep.ret4+indep.ret5+dep.lag1+dep.lag2+dep.lag3,data=d)
summary(fit1)
#coeftest(fit1,vcov=NeweyWest)

2) using armaFit:
fit2<-armaFit(dep~ar(3),xreg=ts(data.df[selection,c("RET1","RET2","RET3","RET4","RET5")]),data=ts(data.df[selection,-1]))
summary(fit2)

The results of 1) and 2) are completely different. Does anybody have an 
explanation for this?

The dependent and some independent variables are autocorrelated because of 
overlapping observations (but do not posess a unit root). Therefore I have 
added lagged dependent variables as additional regressors to resolve the 
problem of autocorrelation in the dependent variables. To account for residual 
autocorrelation in the residuals I want to use the procedure of Newey West. Is 
this idea absolute nonsense?

Kind regards,
Daphne
