[R] spurious regression in R

[Spencer Graves]

	  R has extensive time series capabilities within base R and especially 
add-on packages like the "dse" bundle and the several packages 
associated with "www.rmetrics.org".  I'm still a novice in this area. 
The source I've found most useful so far is the time series chapter in 
Venables and Ripley (2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th ed. 
(Springer).

	  Also, are you familiar with "vignette()"?  I found interesting the 
vignettes for "zoo", "dse1", and "dse2", accessed for example as follows:

	  z <- vignette("zoo")

	  z # This brings up a tutorial in Adobe Acrobat

	  edit(z)
# This extracts the R commands from the tutorial
# into a separate file that can be processed line by line,
# edited to test alternatives, etc.
# NOTE:  "edit(z)" did NOT work for me under XEmacs.
# If you use XEmacs, try "Stangle(z$file)";
# this should create a *.R file in "getwd()"

	  I suspect this will not answer your questions, but I hope it helps. 
Feel free to submit another question.  However, before you do, I suggest 
you read the posting guide! 
"http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html".  It might help you answer 
many of your questions yourself and increase the utility of answers you 
receive to other questions you post to this list.
