[R] Breaking up a vector

Hi all, My problem is as follows: I want to run a loop which calculates two values and stores them in vectors r and rv, respectively. They're calculated from some vector x with length a multiple of 7. x <- c(1:2058) I need to difference the values but it would be incorrect to difference it all

Re: [R] I want to create an object to use for the plot command

Hm, thank you David, that is a good point. I'm trying to model it as a white noise model, essentially. Now that I think of it there's probably an easier way to do this that I haven't thought of yet. I was trying it this way based on something I'd remembered reading from Engle's original paper on

[R] I want to create an object to use for the plot command

I'm using the TSA package (along with all prerequisites) to do some GARCH work and for some reason, something which used to work for me has decided to up and stop. The code is as follows, after loading the package: " gs <- garch.sim(alpha=c(1.9,0.1), beta=c(0.71, -0.083, -0.016),rnd = rnor
