Hi Karl,
The "why do it like this" is probably direct towards creating 9 new
objects for the arima results (Is this right Bill?). A better option
would be to create a list with nine entries. This is much easier for any
subsequent analyses. An example that uses lapply (an efficient syntax
for loops):
sseq <- c(1, seq(5, 40, by = 5))
result_list = lapply(sseq, function(num) {
arima(data.ts[num:(num+200)], order=c(1,1,1))
})
cheers,
Paul

Hi Bill,
I didn't make the original post, but its pretty similar to some thing
i would have queried the list about. But, as an R dilatante i find
more curious your question-
"...but why would you want to do so?"
Is this because you'd typically use the given nine lines of explicit
code to carve up a single dataset into nine symmetrical variants ? Or
that some contextual information may affect how you would write the
for() loop?
As i lack the experience to know any better, i perceive your for()
loop as de rigour in efficient use of R, and the preferance of all
experienced R user's. But not having any formal education in R or role
models as such, its only an assumption (compeletely ignoring for the
moment processing efficiency/speed, rounding error and such).
But which i now question! Explicit, simple crude looking code; or,
something which demands a little more proficiency with the language?
cheers,
Karl
