R help - Jan 2006 - KALMAN FILTER HELP

Hi All,

 

Currently I'm using DSE package for Kalman Filtering. I have a dataset
of one dependent variable and seven other independent variables. I'm
confused at one point. How to declare the input-output series using
TSdata command. Because the given example at page 37 showing some error.

 

rain <- matrix(rnorm(86*17), 86,17)

radar <- matrix(rnorm(86*5), 86,5)

mydata <- TSdata(input=radar, output=rain)

 

 

input data:

Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion /
options(expressions=)?

 

Can anyone explain it to me what's going wrong in this? In my data set,
I have "Change in Exchange Rate" as my dependent variable and seven
other economic variables as independent variables. I'm trying to
forecast "Change in Exchange Rate" using available dataset of 244
points. How can declare the input and output dataset in this framework?
I hope I'm right to explain in this way what ultimately I'm going to do.
After having a TSdata object, I want to use toSS to convert the TS model
into state space model, and then use l.SS. Am I right in my thinking?
Please advice, and many thanks in advance.

This has come up before: it needs a bug fix which Paul Gilbert has already 
implemented (but not yet released).

Please use an informative subject line, and don't SHOUT at us. (All caps 
is regarded as shouting, and BTW the package bundle is dse not DSE.)

Is this happening with the example as you show it, or are you trying to 
print mydata?

There is a bug in the print method for TSdata objects, which I have 
fixed and was intending to put on CRAN in a few days. This bug does give 
the infinite recursion error, but would only happen when you print the 
data by typing

mydata
or
print(mydata)

I don't think the assignment you show would produce this problem, but 
please send me more details if it does. The problem, which will be fixed 
in the next release, is only with the print method. Other things are 
working and you should be able to do model estimation, conversion, and 
plot the data, just not print it.
