Package dlm has a function for maximum likelihood estimation of parameters in general (linear Normal) state space model. The function, dlmMLE, computes the likelihood based on singular value decomposition and appears to be fairly robust. No EM algorithm, though. Giovanni Date: Sun, 11 Nov

[R] State-space model estimation with EM

2007-11-11 Thread adschai
Hi - I follow some references and now implement my own state-space model estimation. I have a question. In case, my equations are like this: y(t) = Ax(t)+Bu(t)+eps(t) # observation eq x(t) = Cx(t-1)+Du(t)+eta(t) # state eq Using EM, after backward recursion, you will use the smoothed state
