[R] Multivariate OLS

[r400 r400]

Dear David,
 
Thank you very much for this reply. But unfortunately it is not that I want. In my equation 'a' is a vector with length 2, 'b' and 'c' are matrix with row and columns 2. It is like Vector Autoregressive model, but there is some difference between that model and my model. Is there any suggestion?
 
Thanks and regards,

I don't understand the problem; why can't you use lm with a data
frame?  Is something like this what you are after?

dat <- data.frame(y=rnorm(100),x=rnorm(100,5))
dif1 <- diff(dat[,1])
dif2 <- diff(dat[,1],lag=2)

lm(y ~ dif1[-1] + dif2, data=dat[-(1:2),])

First column represents a time series of exchange rate for 2000 days. And the second column represents the price of a commodity for the same period. Now I want to fit a OLS regression like that,
