The question. (Part 1)

The data.

Code for logistic regression. You can modify parts of this code to fit other models.

Code for out of sample prediction in neural networks. Courtesy of Nick Zinn. (Just read the whole function into S-Plus).

An example for the neural net command. Play around with this one to fit other neural networks.

An example for the time series problem.

Key S-Plus command for time series analysis.
