This is not about slowness of Linux nor of R but of a particular function in a contributed package. Few of us are familiar with that package, and you have not given a reproducible example. Please do as the posting guide asked and talk directly to the maintainer (who may well not read this list).

I've altered the subject line to something less inappropriate.

Hello All,

Sorry everybody for another message on this topic but I don't understand the
times off execution that I have.
From my search in the forum I found that linux old be better to this kind of
operation, so now I using a dualCore 2.33GHz with 8Gb RAM but the times off
execution don´t decrease.

Once again the function and the times and I get in linux:
system.time(fit_2323v_168f<-auto.arima(regts.ts, d = NA, D = NA, max.p = 2,
max.q = 2,
           max.P = 1, max.Q = 1, max.order = 5,
           start.p=0, start.q=0, start.P=0, start.Q=0,
                       stationary = FALSE, ic = c("aic","aicc", "bic"),
           stepwise=FALSE, trace=TRUE))
user   system  elapsed
38389.75  3786.29 22849.73


There is some optimization that could be done?


Thanks in advance for the replies!!!

Hello again,

Sorry but the code that I insert wasn't write. Should be like this:

fit_2323v_168f<-auto.arima(regts.ts, d = NA, D = NA, max.p = 2, max.q = 2,
            max.P = 1, max.Q = 1, max.order = 5,
            start.p=0, start.q=0, start.P=0, start.Q=0,
                        stationary = FALSE, ic = c("aic","aicc", "bic"),
            stepwise=TRUE, trace=TRUE)

Sorry for the SPAM!!

Hello,

I using the fuction auto.arima() from package forecast to predict the
values of p,d,q and P,D,Q.
My problem is the execution time of this function, for example, a time
series with 2323 values with seasonality to the week take over 8 hours to
execute all the possibilities.
I using a computer with Windows XP,  a processor Intel Core2 Duo T7300
and 2Gb of RAM.

fit_2323v_168f<-auto.arima(regts.ts, d = 1, D = 1, max.p = 2, max.q = 2,
            max.P = 1, max.Q = 1, max.order = 5,
            start.p=0, start.q=0, start.P=0, start.Q=0,
                        stationary = FALSE, ic = c("aic","aicc", "bic"),
            stepwise=TRUE, trace=TRUE)

It is any configuration to speed-up this?


Thanks in advance!
