similar to: Kalman Smoothing - time-variant parameters (sspir)

Hi all, I've just started working my way through Mike West and Jeff Harrison's _Bayesian Forecasting and Dynamic Models_, and I was wondering if there were any publically-available packages to handle dynamic linear models, as they describe. I found the "dynlm" package, but either I don't yet understand what's going on or that package uses a different sense of the phrase

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)

I am having a problem with the package SSPIR. The code below illustrates it. I keep getting the message: "Error in y - f : non-conformable arrays." I tried to tweak the code below in many different ways, for example, substituting rbind for cbind, and sometimes I get a different error message, but I could not find a variation of this code that would work. Any help will be greatly

Dear R-Users, I'm using SSPIR package for a spatio-temporal application. Is it possible to modify the structure of the involved matrixes (Fmat, Gmat, Vmat,Wmat)? I want to create a model like this #y(t)=k*theta(t)+epsilon(t) #theta(t)=h*theta(t-1)+eta(t) #epsilon(t) N(0,V) V=sigma2*I #eta(t) N(0,W) W=sigma2_eta where the state variable theta has dimension 1(p=1) and at

Hi Rers, I have a poission time series model with 5 parameters. I just wanted to remove two of the lag on response in the model and put it as a system model. I am not sure about the codes to combine these two on R. If anybody has any R example (code), please post it. My original model: log(Y(t))~constant+b1*Y(t-1)+b2*Y(t-2)+b3*(variable1)+b4*(variable2)+e I would like to construct a

Greetings, I sent the message below to the developer of the contributed R package "sspir", but have yet to receive any response. I would be very grateful for any advice people have on the matter.

I familarized myelf with kalmanlike and structts which are approaches for building and estimating ( and forecasting ) state space models ( or the equivalent arima models ). back in 2003, gavin simpson wrote an email describing the west and harrison apprach to estimate state space models and asked if anything was out there for using that approach. the goals of this approach are the same as kalman

Dear R-Help, I'm trying to learn the sspir package for state space modeling. Has anyone coded a cubic spline smoother (continuous time) in state space format in sspir? The syntax for setting up the various matrices would be really helpful. Best Simon -- Simon D.W. Frost, D.Phil.

I'm currently running into a little trouble with the kfilter method, and would love some clarification if you are able to offer it. When trying to run kfilter, I've been running into errors that seem to result from having mismatched dimensions. Specifically, the dimension of my observations is 2, while the dimension of the state space is 4. In the filterstep function (file sspir_kfs.R),

Dear list I would like to be able to group terms in a formula using a function that I will call tvar(), eg. the formula Y ~ 1 + tvar(x:A) + tvar(z) + u + tvar(B) + tvar(poly(v,3)) where x,u and v are numeric and A and B are factors - binary, say. As output, I want the model.matrix as if tvar had not been there at all. In addition, I would like to have information on the grouping, as a vector

Hey all, I am trying to work under a State Space form, but I didn't get the help exactly. Have anyone eles used this functions? I was used to work with S-PLUS, but I have some codes I need to adpt. Thanks alot, Bernardo [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello everybody, I am writing a review paper about State Space models in R, and I would like to cover as many packages as I reasonably can. So far I am familiar with the following tools to deal with SS models: * StructTS, Kalman* (in stats) * packages dse[1-2] * package sspir * package dlm I would like to have some input from users who work with SS models: are there any other packages for SS

Dear List The UKgas data is stored as an object of class 'ts'. I am trying to use "UKgas" in a formula as argument to a function. However, I do not know how to access the 'time series' information in the response (such as start() end() etc.). Here is a boiled down example. ssm <- function(formula, data = list(),subset=NULL) { cl <- match.call() if

I am having a problem with optim() using the "L-BFGS-B" method. When I set the lower limit for the third parameter equal to zero I get an error message: > low.lim.3 <- 0 > phi_opt <- optim(phi_, model_lik, NULL, method = "L-BFGS-B", lower=c(0.2, -100, low.lim.3, 0), upper= c(10, 100, 10, 10), control = list(maxit = 1000, parscale = c(0.2, u1, 0.002, 0.002), trace =

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

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? -

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 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 mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status

I would like to see R packages arranged by topic. CRAN Task Views are at http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/src/contrib/Views/ , but I'd like something more detailed. For example, the IMSL Fortran library, version 4 is easy to navigate and has procedures arranged according to following topics: Basic Statistics Regression Correlation Analysis of Variance Categorical and Discrete

I'm looking for a Windows distribution of TeX that works with R, after a few years' absence from Windows. On Duncan Murdoch's Rtools page fptex is still recommended, but it turns out that fptex is "defunct" as of May 2005, see http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-7.html So, what is suggested? TUG (tug.org) recommends something called proTeXt, which is said to be
