[R] extracting coefficients from ar() output

Fri Jun 17 20:34:36 CEST 2016

Thank you very much.
Here is the error message.

> WriteXLS(coefar,ExcelFileName = "R.xls",SheetNames="test")
Error in WriteXLS(coefar, ExcelFileName = "R.xls", SheetNames = "test") : 
  'x' must be the name of a data frame, the name of a list of data frames, a data frame object, a list object of data frames.

Just a guess (since you didn't include the error message) but do you have a length-1 character vector named `test`. I thought not. So try using SheetNames = 'test'
