Thank you very much for clearing my question (for me too ;))
The model I would like to fit is :
X_t = phi_1 * X_{t-1} + phi_2 * X_{t-2}
+ phi_3 * X_{t-3} +
A_1*f_{t-1}+A_2*f_{t-2}...+A_k*f_{t-k} + E_t (*)
(X_t and f_t time series are both known, k - fixed and more than 1).
lm is a good answer (I surely try it), but I thought may be somethere in
R exists a front-end to lm for this particular case. For example if I
have a model
X_t = phi_1 * X_{t-1} + phi_2 * X_{t-2}
+ phi_3 * X_{t-3} + E_t (**), I would use
an "ar" command from "stats" package. My problem is how to make my model
(*) suit "ar" command (may model (*) be rewritten in (**) form)?
