Prof Ripley, Thanks for explanation. I now understand where KalmanLike fits. I should not use exogenous factor. It should be called exogenous variable or inputs or known effects. My study on how trading sizes impact on stock prices has trading sizes as this exogenous variable. As you said, this

From the help document on KalmanLike, KalmanRun, etc., I see the linear Gaussian state space model is a - T a + R e y = Z' a + eta following the book of Durbin and Koopman. In practice, it is useful to run Kalman filtering/smoothing/forecasting with exogenous factor: a - T a + L b + R e y =
