Tim, Given you have so little data - I would try
a) prefilter and forecast Fit a fairly simple ARIMA(0,1,1) model to A and treat 8987 as an outlier - then predict the fitted series AF with the 3 missing points as forecasts. Fit another ARIMA(0,1,1) with 7688 as an outlier - then back cast to fill in past values and use the fitted series BF. The fitted series AF and BF series are the filtered estimates Then b) Regress BF on AF at time t, i.e use BF_t = alpha * AF_t + Intercept + error_t then predict BF_hat = alpha1_hat * AF + Intercept. Regress AF on BF at time t, i.e use then predict AF_hat = alpha2_hat * BF + Intercept. And use these predictions as my (first approx) to the missing values. Hope this helps!

Aim: combine two partly overlapping series to one by prediction. Problem: only overlapping data points are predicted. Question: How do I predict data for rows 1-9 and 14-16? Thanks in advance for your advince, Tim ### CODE ### x <- read.csv('Buch1.csv') x year A B 1 1960 2 NA 2 1961 3 NA 3 1962 4 NA 4 1963 54 NA 5 1964 3 NA 6 1965 324 NA 7 1966 546 NA 8 1967 455 NA 9 1968 456 NA 10 1969 456 67 11 1970 8987 34 12 1971 78 34 13 1972 65 3 14 1973 NA 123 15 1974 NA 7688 16 1975 NA 324 predict(lm(a~b)) 10 11 12 13 2527.198 2394.489 2394.489 2269.824 ### DATA ### year,A,B 1960,2, 1961,3, 1962,4, 1963,54, 1964,3, 1965,324, 1966,546, 1967,455, 1968,456, 1969,456,67 1970,8987,34 1971,78,34 1972,65,3 1973,,123 1974,,7688 1975,,324 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ********************************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
