Dear all, I am pleased to announce the CRAN release of a new package called 'KFAS' - Kalman filter and smoother. The package KFAS contains functions of multivariate Kalman filter, smoother, simulation smoother and forecasting. It uses univariate approach algorithm (aka sequential processing), which is faster than normal method, and it also allows mean square prediction error matrix Ft to

Dear R users, I am trying to carry out MLE of the time-varying CAPM using the FKF package. My approach so far has been to try and adapt the example given in the help file found using ?fkf which demonstrates the MLE of an ARMA(2,1) model. When I attempt to run my R code (given below) I get the following error: Error in fkf(a0 = sp$a0, P0 = sp$P0, dt = sp$dt, ct = sp$ct, Tt = sp$Tt, : Some of

Hi, I've been searching CRAN and the web for a recursive multivariate filter with time-varying coefficients. What I mean is the following: I have a series of square matrices A_t an initial value vector y_0 and I need to compute y_t =A_t%*%y_t-1 As these y_t may diverge quickly and/or lead to underflow problems, the y_t need to be scaled by eg y_t =y_t/sum(y_t-1) Is anyone aware

I have a problem involving state space models with a multivariate observation equation. In other words: the kalman filtering routines as implemented in the package ts cannot be used since it treats the univariate case only. My question : does a multivariate kalman filtering procedure for R exist somewhere in the world? Where could I perhaps expect to find something like that? Many thanks M.

Dear all, I am currently trying to use the "dlm" package for Kalman filtering. My model is very simple: Y_t = F'_t Theta_t + v_t Theta_t = G_t Theta_t-1 + w_t v_t ~ N(0,V_t) = N(0,V) w_t ~ N(0,W_t) = N(0,W) Y_ t is a univariate time series (1x1) F_t is a vector of factor returns (Kx1) Theta_t is the state vector (Kx1) G_t is the identity matrix My first

I am looking for a Kalman filter that can handle a control input. I thought that l.SS was suitable however, I can't get it to work, and wonder if I am not using the right function. What I want is a Kalman filter that accepts exogenous inputs where the input is found using the algebraic Ricatti equation solution to a penalty function. If K is the gain matrix then the exogenous input

Hello again, A different but related question to my last one: Does anyone know if one can easily estimate state-space models using ML and the kalman filter using R? I would be especially interested in a relatively flexible function that would allow for estimation of hyperparameters, or could be made to do so. Thanks Michael J.

I'd like to estimate time varying coefficients in a linear regression using a Kalman filter. Even if the Kalman Filter seems to be available in some packages I can't figure out how to use it to estimate the coefficients. Is there anyway to do that in R? Any help appreciated Thanks

  Hello All,   I am working with dlm for the purpose of estimating and forecasting with a Kalman filter model. I have succesfully set up the model and started generating results. Of course, I need to somehow be sure that the results make sense. Without any apparent target to compare with, my natural selection is the results by odinary least square. The idea being that if I choose a diffuse prior,

Hello, I would like use Kalman filter for estimating parameters of a stochastic model. I have developed the state space model but I don’t know the correct way use Kalman filter for parameter estimation. Has anybody experience in work with Kalman filter in R. I don’t know the correct function. Maybe it is - KalmanLike; but what is the correct Input? - tsmooth? -

I have built a Kalman Filter model for flu forecasting as shown below. Y - Target Variable X1 - Predictor1 X2 - Predictor2 While forecasting into the future, I will NOT have data for all three variables. So, I am predicting X1 and X2 using two Kalman filters. The code is below x1.model <- dlmModSeas(52) + dlmModPoly(1, dV=5, dW=10) x2.model <- dlmModSeas(52) + dlmModPoly(1, dV=10,

help.search("Kalman") says to look at help(KalmanLike, package=ts). Andy -----Original Message----- From: Mohamed A.

Hi, Following convention below: y(t) = Ax(t)+Bu(t)+eps(t) # observation eq x(t) = Cx(t-1)+Du(t)+eta(t) # state eq I modified the following routine (which I copied from: http://www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/tsa2/Rcode/Kall.R) to accommodate u(t), an exogenous input to the system. for (i in 2:N){ xp[[i]]=C%*%xf[[i-1]] Pp[[i]]=C%*%Pf[[i-1]]%*%t(C)+Q siginv=A[[i]]%*%Pp[[i]]%*%t(A[[i]])+R

Hi, I am studying Kalman Filter and it seems to be difficult for me to apply the filter on a simple ARMA. It is easy to construct the state-space model, for instance: dlmModARMA(ar=c(0.4,-0.2),ma=c(0.2,-0.1, sigma2=1) but applying the dlmFilter on it, it doesn't work... I don't know if my problem is clear but if anyone has already worked on Kalman filter, it could be great to advise me!

Dear R users, Just to clarify. I am not offering to pay someone to do my Dissertation. These 4-5 commands on Kalman Filter would be only a tiny part of my 10,000 words dissertation. A part that even after trying for a few days, I am still stuck on. I am offering ?50, just to say thanks. Regards -- View this message in context:

If you mean this paper by Fahrmeir: http://biomet.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/81/2/317 I would recommend BayesX: http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/~bayesx/. BayesX interfaces with R and estimates discrete (and continuous) time survival data with penalized regression methods. If you are looking for a bona fide Bayesian survival analysis method and do not wish to spend a lot of time

Dear R Users, I am new to state-space modeling. I am using SSPIR package for Kalman Filter. I have a data set containing one dependent variable and 7 independent variables with 250 data points. I want to use Kalman Filter for forecast the future values of the dependent variable using a multiple regression framework. I have used ssm function to produce the state space (SS)

Hi My name is Vladimir Samaj. I am a student of Univerzity of Zilina. I am trying to implement Kalman Filter into my school work. I have some problems with understanding of R version of Kalman Filter in package stats( functions KalmanLike, KalmanRun, KalmanSmooth,KalmanForecast). 1) Can you tell me how are you seting the initial values of state vector in Kalman Filter? Are you using some method?

Dear All, Could anyone?give me a hand?to suggest few packages in R to running Kalman prediction and filtration ? Thanks Fir
