[R] Dyn or Dynlm and out of sample forecasts

[Kerpel, John]

Gabor:

Should lags while using dyn be specified using a negative - (e.g.
lag(y,-1) instead of lag(y,1) to indicate one period earlier ?  Is this
different from the lag function which seems to use lag(y,1) to denote
one period earlier?

Thanks,
John

Try this:

# test data
set.seed(1)
y <- ts(1:10 + rnorm(10, 0, 0.1))

# fit model
library(dyn)
y.lm <- dyn$lm(y ~ lag(y,-1))

# use predict
tail(predict(y.lm, list(y = y)), 1)

# or multiply by coefficients giving same result
coef(y.lm) %*% c(1, tail(y,1))

# Now try it using quantile regression
library(quantreg)
y.rq <- dyn$rq(y ~ lag(y,-1))
tail(predict(y.rq, list(y = y)), 1)
coef(y.rq) %*% c(1, tail(y,1))
