Dear Professor King,
I was doing some literature reading and I came across your software. I try the package with my own data but I got some error.
I modified my data and make it look like the example data in the file path of the package. yourprep runs smoothly with some data like below:
dta$data$`204500`
rspi2 popu2 time

2022 NA NA 2012
2023 NA NA 2013
2024 NA NA 2014
2025 NA NA 2015
But then I got error with yourcast() command.
The scripts run below:

Thank you for your help!
