I have recently started using R and i am interested in back-testing historic data related to Indian commodity market. I am using quantmod for the analysis. Can any body explain me how to use buildModel and how to train it for forecasting.
There are many posts on the quantmod website, in the quantmod documentation, and in the list archives for this list about using buildModel. After you've reviewed these, perhaps you would be so kind as to follow the admonition in the posting guide and prepare a reproducible example that demonstrates what you are trying to do.
Assuming that you are trying to use a formula-class linear regression model (or similar), buildModel is quite elegant. If you're trying to do something more complex, you'll need a different tool (but quantmod remains invaluable for many other time series manipulation and charting tasks).
