[R] Forecasting using VECM

[Bert Gunter]

Searching on "VECM" on rseek.org brought up:

"VECM" on the Rdocumentation site, which clearly states:

"The predict method contains a newdata argument allowing to compute
rolling forecasts."

If that is not what you want, you'll need to explain why not, I think.
If it is, please do such searching on your own in future.

Cheers,
Bert
