[R] arima and xreg

[David Stoffer]

Your model is close, but not correct... there are no t's on the parameters
and the U's aren't lagged.  

You can find an ARMAX example on our "quick fix" page:
http://www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/tsa2/R_time_series_quick_fix.htm .  The
example is near the bottom and just above the spectral analysis example, but
you may want to read the "regression with autocorrelated errors" example
first to get some background.
