##### Forecasting using ETS models

Returns forecasts and other information for univariate ETS models.

##### Usage
"forecast"(object, h=ifelse(object$m>1, 2*object$m, 10),  level=c(80,95), fan=FALSE, simulate=FALSE, bootstrap=FALSE,  npaths=5000, PI=TRUE, lambda=object\$lambda, biasadj=FALSE, ...)
##### Arguments
object
An object of class "ets". Usually the result of a call to ets.
h
Number of periods for forecasting
level
Confidence level for prediction intervals.
fan
If TRUE, level is set to seq(51,99,by=3). This is suitable for fan plots.
simulate
If TRUE, prediction intervals produced by simulation rather than using analytic formulae.
bootstrap
If TRUE, and if simulate=TRUE, then simulation uses resampled errors rather than normally distributed errors.
npaths
Number of sample paths used in computing simulated prediction intervals.
PI
If TRUE, prediction intervals are produced, otherwise only point forecasts are calculated. If PI is FALSE, then level, fan, simulate, bootstrap and npaths are all ignored.
lambda
Box-Cox transformation parameter. Ignored if NULL. Otherwise, forecasts back-transformed via an inverse Box-Cox transformation.
Use adjusted back-transformed mean for Box-Cox transformations. If TRUE, point forecasts and fitted values are mean forecast. Otherwise, these points can be considered the median of the forecast densities.

Other arguments.
##### Value

forecast".The function summary is used to obtain and print a summary of the results, while the function plot produces a plot of the forecasts and prediction intervals.The generic accessor functions fitted.values and residuals extract useful features of the value returned by forecast.ets.An object of class "forecast" is a list containing at least the following elements: is a list containing at least the following elements:
