Hi,
 
This is a something of a follow-up to another question I posted on 
econometric models a few days ago.
 
I'm using the Regress command to estimate a series of equations that 
involved lagged dependent variables, e.g.,
 
   y(t) = a + b*y(t-1) + c*x(t) + d*z(t),
 
etc., and then extracted the fitted equation using the 
RegressionReport->BestFit option. Since the fitted equation is a
difference equation, it is not immediately obvious to 
me how I could evaluate the resulting rule to find values of y(t)
(assuming we know x and z). I know that I can re-write this rule and 
use FoldList, but I'm wondering if 
there is a way to evaluate the BestFit rule directly, in a way that 
correctly reflects the recurrence.
 
Thanks,
 
Mark
