...ion coefficients (and estimated standard errors) from identical models fit to different data sets. I would like to use these results to create pooled estimated regression coefficients and estimated standard errors for these pooled coefficients. In particular, I would like to estimate the model \beta_{i} = \mu + \eta_{i} + \epsilon_{i} \eta_{i} ~ iid N(0,\tau^2) and independent of the \epsilon_{i}, the latter themselves being independent with variances assumed known and equal to the squared standard errors reported in the regression output. I would like to use lme() to estimate \tau^2 by REML,...

Hi, I'm trying to estimate the parameters of a state space model of the following form measurement eq: z_t = a + b*y_t + eps_t transition eq y_t+h = (I -exp(-hL))theta + exp(-hL)y_t+ eta_{t+h}. The problem is that the distribution of the innovations of the transition equation depend on the previous value of the state variable. To be exact: y_t|y_{t-1} ~N(mu, Q_t) where Q is a diagonal matrix with elements equal to Q_{i,t} = sigma_i*(1-exp(-kappa_i*h)/kappa_i*(theta_i/2*(1-exp(kapp...

Dear R users, I am trying to find a package that can estimate an autoregressive model for discrete data. I am imagining a Poisson or Gamma process in which the mean (say mu) follows a process such as mu_t = a + b*x + c*mu_{t-1} Suppose I have data on the time-series Poisson outcomes and x and would like to obtain ML estimates for b and c. Does anyone know of a package that can do this
