-arima- does not have an option for conditional least squares.
Note:
“Generally, the conditional and unconditional least
squares estimators serve as satisfactory approximations
to the maximum likelihood estimator for large sample
sizes. However, simulation evidence suggests a
preference for the maximum likelihood estimator for
small or moderate sample sizes, especially if the moving
average operator has a root close to the boundary of the
invertibility region.” (page 237)
