Spencer Graves has discussed this recently ( in the last couple of months ) in a thread and I think his FinTS package has a variant of the Box.test
 function that does what you need.

Dear colleagues,


I am new to R and statistics so please keep that in mind.

I have doubts on the df calculation of Ljung-Box test (Box.test). The
function seems to use always the df=lag=m and not df=m-p-q like suggested in
Ljung and Box (1978) paper (that is referenced).


Do you agree with this? If so, is there an R package function that computes Ljung-Box test with the degrees of freedom as described in Ljung and Box
(1978) paper?


Note: this issue was discussed in
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/03/22768.html (and thread) but it
seems with little consensus.



Thanks in advance,


Nuno
