If you are considering multivariate ARMA or state space models then you
might look at the dse bundle of packages on CRAN. You might also find
dse useful if you are looking at multi-period forecasts from univariate
models.

There is a new version of dse on CRAN, but I have not widely advertised
it as I intend to soon clean up a couple of small glitches. In
particular, I mistakenly put the Users' Guide (which has lots of
forecasting examples) in the bundle subdirectory inst/doc rather than
dse1/inst/doc. Thus, it is distributed with the bundle but does not get
installed in an obvious place.

I have not used dse very much with daily data. Although it should not
make any difference, one is sometimes surprised. Please let me know if
you have any difficulty.
