I apologize in advance if I picked the wrong list to post this to. I have made an effort to find the answers to these questions on CRAN, but if they are there, I couldn't find them, and I was going to email the developer of StructTS directly but could not find who that is. I have 2 interrelated questions about StructTS 1. Where can I obtain the source code for StructTS if I wanted to produce a similar function with an extended capability? 2. Would the person who developed StructTS have any interest in adding the abili...

Dear all: I want to modify the 'StructTS' function from the 'stats' package. First, I am writing a working copy of the original version and got some problems. I have two versions of the function plus the original one. The first version is the same code as the 'StructTS' function: StructTS.v1 <- function (x, type =...

Hi all, I've experienced this problem using StructTS(x) when the *first* element of x is a NA (R:R1.7.0, os: w2ksp4). Please look at the following code: a=rep(1:7,10) library(ts) #this works StructTS(a) #this works x=a x[2]=NA StructTS(x) #this doesn't work x=a x[1]=NA StructTS(x) The last command returns this error...

Dear All, I am trying to fit a structural time series model using the StructTS function (package stats) with only 2 seasons (summer and winter). More than 2 seasons work fine but with 2 seasons I get this error: > fit <- StructTS(y.ts, type="BSM") Error in T[cbind(ind + 1L, ind)] <- 1 : subscript out of bounds I have looked at Prof. Ripley's 2002 RNew...

Dear all, I'd like to discuss about a possible bug in function StructTS of stats package. It seems that the function returns wrong value of the log-likelihood, as the added constant to the relevant part of the log-likelihood is misspecified. Here is an simple example: > data(Nile) > fit <- StructTS(Nile, type = "level") > fit$loglik [1] -367.5194...

Hello, I just ran the predict.StructTS function using the AirPassengers data and got a ridiculous result. Here's what I ended up with: http://24.210.155.111/PredictWhat!.pdf Who wrote this? Am I seriously supposed to think this function would accurately predict a time series? -AnalogKid

Dear R-bugs I have been studying the StructTS function (in package 'stats') and functions supplied with it. I think I have found a few minor bugs in the documentation. I am referring to the version of StructTS supplied with the release R 2.0.0. Output from 'version' platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os m...

Dear all, I am applying the StructTS function in ts-package. For some time series the program terminates and the following error appears: Error in optim(init[mask], getLike, method = "L-BFGS-B", lower = rep(0, : L-BFGS-B needs finite values of fn Do someone know what do I have to adjust in the original time series...

Hi, I used function StructTS some time ago to fit a structural model to a time series. Now with R 1.6.2-1 I repeated the analysis with the same series and I get the following error: Error in KalmanLike2(y, Z, -1) : invalid argument type I tried with other series and I get the same error; I checked the examples in the do...

Hello, Does anybody know if (and how) it is possible to obtain standard errors of estimated variances from StructTS? (R 2.10.0). Thank you in advance, Giovanni

I am having problems with forward prediction using the output of the Basic Structural Model from StructTS. The following snippet illustrates the problem: t_end <- 139 nahead <- 20 data(AirPassengers) ap <- log10(AirPassengers)-2 fit <- StructTS(ts(ap[1:t_end], freq=12), type="BSM") p <- stats:::predict.StructTS(fit, n.ahead=nahead) plot(1:t_end, ap[1:t_end], xlim=c(0,t_end+na...

In the examples for StructTS -- ($RHOME)/library/stats/man/StructTS.Rd -- could par(mfrow = c(4, 1)) plot(log10(UKgas)) plot(cbind(fitted(fit), resids=resid(fit)), main = "UK gas consumption") become plot(log10(UKgas)) par(mfrow = c(4, 1)) plot(cbind(fitted(fit), resids=resid(fit)), main = "UK gas consumption...

Dear All I would like to use the StructTS function in the ts library to fit the ' BSM ' model. I have some, probably basics, questions about the model and about the function(s): 1) How can I check the statistical significance of the estimated parameters(variances)? 2) Is there some way to find what component "dominate"...

...1927 1922 1918 1914 1908 1902 [37] 1896 1890 1884 1878 1872 I am prepared to accept, for the sake of modelling, that these dates are known and ignore the errors in the dating if that helps. Having read Brian Ripley's article on Time series in R News Vol 2(2) June 2002, I know that arima and StructTS can now handle missing values, and there is some discussion about the specifics of how these functions can handle missing values, but it is still not clear, in my mind at least, if it would be appropriate to use arima or StructTS on data of this nature -- I'm more interested in fitting a st...

To whomever it may concern, I'm a young Industrial Engineer working on Senior Design at Georgia Tech and have found the StructTS method to be excellent for the training set for my forecasting project. There's only one problem: I don't actually understand what a Structural Time Series IS. I've looked up resources on it, and get that essentially you're dividing the Time Series in to additive components dependen...

...a univariate time series and you want to break it into its various components, then you get the scalars based on a decomposition. if you have a kalman filter/ basic strucutural model type setup ( i.e see harvey 1990, can 't remember title ), then you'll get matrices but I don't think structTS is used for the latter ? Professor Ripley, correct me if i'm wrong on that because I don't use structTS. I can't say much else but you may want to look at the DLM package if you are trying to do what I think you might be trying to do ? > >Hi all > >I was wondering if...

Dear all, The definition of the initial covariance matrix P in StructTS function seems to be defined in a somewhat non-standard way without any references. Usually that matrix is defined as a diagonal matrix in case of structural time series models, but StructTS defines this as a singular matrix filled with 1e+06 * var(x, na.rm = TRUE)/100 where x is the time series b...

Dear R-list, I try to use StructTS for some univariate time series, with a type="BSM". I have two questions: 1-in the "fitted" value of the object, it seems to me that for getting back fitted values, one have to add level, slope and seasonal (or "level" contains already the two other ones) 2-i am re...
