In package TSA?

You may need to do some studying for yourself, this is complicated stuff. 

As I read the help page, the intention is that the transfer= bit is to allow a 
_covariate_ to affect the process in an ARMA-like fashion. So c(1,0) would be 
AR(1)-like which if I remember correctly corresponds to an exponentially 
decaying effect of instantaneous shocks to the system. And c(0,0) would be 
MA(0)-like, which I suppose would be an effect that only affected the same 
period as the instantaneous shock. In the example, we have the same covariate 
(Sept. 2001) contributing with both kinds of effect, so xtransf= has the same 
variable twice.
