Hi Gabor,

Perhaps, I should have been clearer. 

In the subject like, I put "grangertest/lmtest" to indicate the 
grangertest function in the lmtest package.

Later in the example, I am specifically talking about granger.test in the 
MSBVAR package (which is not failing, as in the example at the very 
bottom) to which you are referring, as a comparison to grangertest in the 
lmtest package (which is failing, in the example at the top). 

In the example at the very bottom of the email, I invoke granger.test from 
the MSBVAR package with two arguments, as you rightly put.  grangertest in 
the lmtest package is invoked with three arguments. This is the function 
which is failing.

Hope this clarifies my question.

Tolga

Re: [R] grangertest/lmtest ... what am I doing wrong ?






There is something wrong with the description below
since MSBVAR has granger.test, not grangertest,
and it takes 2 args, not 3.  This refers to 0.3-1 of
MSBVAR.
