Sample the posterior distribution of the process using the backward smoothing algorithm

Description

This function samples the posterior distribution of the process using the backward smoothing algorithm.

Usage

Sample_KF_post(index_obs, C_R_K_Q,W0,GG,W,VV,output,kernel_type,sample_type)

Arguments

index_obs	a vector where the entries with 1 have observations and entries with 0 have no observation.
C_R_K_Q	a list of matrices to compute the inverse covariance matrix in the dynamic linear model.
GG	a list of matrices defined in the dynamic linear model.
W	a list of coefficient matrices defined in the dynamic linear model.
VV	a numerical value of the variance of the nugget parameter.
output	a vector of the output.
kernel_type	a character to specify the type of kernel to use. The current version supports kernel_type to be "matern_5_2" or "exp", meaning that the matern kernel with roughness parameter being 2.5 or 0.5 (exponent kernel), respectively.
sample_type	a integer to specify the type of sample we need. 0 means the states. 1 means the first value of each state vector. 2 means the noisy observations.

Value

A matrix of the posterior samples.
