I got a strange error when using predict on some models generated withauto.arima. E.g., for some shortened versions of AirPassengers
library(forecast)
# this works fine, predict and forecast giving the same 1 period ahead fct
ap1 <- window(AirPassengers, end = c(1959, 4))
m1 <- auto.arima(ap1)
predict(m1)
forecast(m1)
# forecast works as expected, but predict gives an error
ap2 <- window(AirPassengers, end = c(1959, 3))
m2 <- auto.arima(ap2)
predict(m2)
# Error in array(x, c(length(x), 1L), if (!is.null(names(x))) list(names(x), :
# 'data' must be of a vector type, was 'NULL'
forecast(m2)
# it also works for shorter time series
ap3 <- window(AirPassengers, end = c(1957, 12))
m3 <- auto.arima(ap3)
predict(m3)
forecast(m3)
