## Estimate a TSmodel

### Description

Estimate a TSmodel.

### Usage

    estBlackBox2(data, estimation='estVARXls',
lag.weight=.9,
reduction='MittnikReduction',
criterion='taic',
trend=FALSE,
standardize=FALSE, verbose=TRUE, max.lag=12)


### Arguments

 data a TSdata object. estimation a character string indicating the estimation method to use. lag.weight weighting to apply to lagged observations. reduction character string indicating reduction procedure to use. criterion criterion to be used for model selection. see informationTestsCalculations. trend if TRUE include a trend in the model. subtract.means if TRUE the mean is subtracted from the data before estimation. re.add.means if subtract.means is TRUE then if re.add.means is TRUE the estimated model is converted back to a model for data without the mean subtracted. standardize if TRUE the data is transformed so that all variables have the same variance. verbose if TRUE then additional information from the estimation and reduction procedures is printed. max.lag The number of lags to include in the VAR estimation.

### Details

A model is estimated and then a reduction procedure applied. The default estimation procedure is least squares estimation of a VAR model with lagged values weighted. This procedure is discussed in Gilbert (1995).

A TSestModel.
