I want to fit a function to time series. If I had: x <- 1:4 y <- 1:4
lm(y~x) This would fit a simple line to the four points. But if it is represented as a time series x <- 1:4 t <- ts(x) lm(????) So I have a time series in the object t. How do I write a formula for lm? What do I put in the formula for x and y when I only have t (the time series).
