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 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)

Dear R-brains, I'm rather new to state-space models and would benefit from the extra confidence in using the excellent package sspir. In a one-factor model, If I am trying to do a simple regression where I assume the intercept is constant and the 'Beta' is changing, how do I do that? How do i Initialize the filter (i.e. what is appropriate to set m0, and C0 for the example below)?

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, 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 available for any questions. -- DEUS Seja Louvado Que ELE Ilumine sua vida Assim como ELE tem Iluminado a Minha

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

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]]

I have a bunch of clean timeseries data obtained from a sensor and I'd like to apply a Kalman Filter to it to smoothe it out. Through a few days of Googling, reading papers, implementing such a filter in various languages, I finally realised that it may be built into R. So I did a "??kalman" at the R prompt and found that it is indeed there. However, the help page is a tad bare,

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 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

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

Hi all! I'm sure this must have been asked many times before but here goes anyway. I'm looking for a kalman filter in R for ar(i)ma time series. I'm sure there must be one around but it does not seem to be in either ts or tseries packages? Any suggestions welcome.

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 all R gurus out there, Im a kind of newbie to kalman-filters after some research I have found that the dlm package is the easiest to start with. So be patient if some of my questions are too basic. I would like to set up a beta estimation between an asset and a market index using a kalman-filter. Much littarture says it gives superior estimates compared to OLS estimates. So I would like to

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

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'm searching a method to estimate the hyper-parameters in arima models. I'm reading about r-inla package, but in the examples section only talk about the AR part of the arima, but i need help about the MA part too. I'm beginner in Bayesian methods, I'm reading the documentation about dlm package and kalman filters, but the computacional cost of inla i think is better, but only
