data_test <- NULL
for(i in 1:ncol(dataset)) {
col <- ts(dataset[,i])
fit1 <- auto.arima(col, trace=TRUE))
fcast <- forecast(fit1,h=12, level=c(90,95))
data_test <- cbind(data_test, fcast$lower)
}
write.table(data_test, "Forecast.csv", sep=";", dec=",", append=TRUE)
I would like to write the Point forecast instead of the fcast@lower
, though when I type names(fcast)
in my R-script, I get:
[1] "method" "model" "level" "mean" "lower" "upper" "x" "xname" "fitted" "residuals"
my question: where is the point forecast? and how do I write out the point forecast (and only the point forecast)??
The help page, ?forecast
, is very straightforward:
mean
Point forecasts as a time series
