This is only to get preliminary estimates of the AR (and later also of the MA) coefficients. The final estimates are computed by conditional least squares (ie. minimizing function err defined in arma).

There is a cleaner way: Use the function arima from ts and use xreg=mvsignal (if mvsignal is exogenous).
