Ok that explains why the forecast was performed until one period ahead
of the final available data.
However, what about the fact that happened to me that, quoting myself,
"trying to access the third row of $fcast to copy the value gave the
error message 'index 1 out of bounds'? Or does 'index 1' in fact mean
the first index, not that the index has the value one?
Reading the post that you're quoting, I'm not getting a clear
enough sense of what you were doing to be able to replicate
it. I've tried some variants of accessing the $fcast matrix,
but while I can provoke an error by trying to read a row
that's not there, the message "index <whatever> out of bounds"
is always showing the row number that I requested (which is
what it's supposed to show).
