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

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.

Since notation for state-space models vary, I'll use the following convention: x(t) indicates the state vector, y(t) indicates the vector of observed quantities. State Transition Equation: x(t+1) = Fx(t) + v(t) Observation Equation: y(t) = Gx(t) + w(t) Cov[v(t)] = V Cov[w(t)] = W I've found myself in a situation where I will have V = s%*%t(s)*k^2, with s a vector the same length as the

1. The function "KalmanLike" seems to change its inputs AND PREVIOUSLY MADE copies of the inputs. Consider the following (using R 2.1.0 patched under Windows XP): > Fig2.1 <- StructTS(x=Nile, type="level") > unlist(Fig2.1$model0[2:3]) a P 1120 286379470 > tst2 <- tst <- Fig2.1$model0 > tst23 <- tst[2:3] > tst23u <-

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

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?

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

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 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 <-

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

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:

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,

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

Hi, I'm trying to use the kalman filter to estimate the variable drift of a random walk, given that I have a vector of time series data. Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this in R? Thanks, Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello My name is greigiano am student of Applied Economics, Department of Rural Economy. I am working on an article forecasting, which use the dynamic linear model, a model state space. I am wondering all the commands in R, to represent the linear dynamic model and Kalman filter.

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 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,
