First, thank you for  providing your code example.
I don't have time right now  to dissect it, but perhaps someone else will.

Basically, quantmod model specification will work with R functions like lm() or 
glm() that take a specification of class "formula".  If you have a problem of 
this type, specifyModel, buildModel, etc. will likely work quite well.

See
?formula
in R for the documentation on 'formula' objects and how they are specified.

Look at the quantmod website for some quantmod-specific examples.

Look at the list archives for this list for more that has been written over the 
years.

If that still doesn't answer your question, add to your prior code example, 
with comments, etc, and I expect someone will do what they can to help.

Regards,

    - Brian
