I have the following code to write the output from auto.arima function. The issue is not in finding the model but to divert its out put fit to a file order_fit.txt. code runs but nothing is written to order_fit.txt where am I going wrong
library(forecast) for (i in 1:2) { filen = paste("file",i,".txt",sep="") data <- read.table(filen) dat1 <- data[,1] xt <- ts(dat1,start=c(1978,11),end=c(2006,12),frequency=12) #dat1[dat1 == -99.989998] <- NA if (min(dat1) != max(dat1)){ fit <- auto.arima(xt,D=1) *sink(file="order_fit.txt") fit sink()* residfit <- residuals(fit) filenou1 = paste("fileree",i,"_out",".txt",sep="") residfit write.table(residfit,filenou1,sep="\t",col.names=FALSE,row.names=FALSE,quote=FALSE) }else{ *fiit <- "ARIMA(-6,-6,-6)(-6,-6,-6)[12]" sink(file="order_fit.txt") fiit sink()* filenou1 = paste("fileree",i,"_out",".txt",sep="") residfit=rep(-99.99,338) residfit write.table(residfit,filenou1,sep="\t",col.names=FALSE,row.names=FALSE,quote=FALSE) rm(data,dat1,residfit,xt) } } -- Nuncio.M Research Scientist National Center for Antarctic and Ocean research Head land Sada Vasco da Gamma Goa-403804 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
