MARSShatyt: Compute Expected Value of Y, YY, and YX

In MARSS: Multivariate Autoregressive State-Space Modeling

Compute Expected Value of Y, YY, and YX

Description

Computes the expected value of random variables involving \mathbf{Y}. Users can use tsSmooth() or print( MLEobj, what="Ey") to access this output. See print.marssMLE.

Usage

MARSShatyt(MLEobj, only.kem = TRUE)

Arguments

MLEobj

A marssMLE object with the par element of estimated parameters, model element with the model description and data.

only.kem

If TRUE, return only ytT, OtT, yxtT, and yxttpT (values conditioned on the data from 1:T) needed for the EM algorithm. If only.kem=FALSE, then also return values conditioned on data from 1 to t-1 (Ott1 and ytt1) and 1 to t (Ott and ytt), yxtt1T (\textrm{var}[\mathbf{Y}_t, \mathbf{X}_{t-1}|\mathbf{y}_{1:T}]), var.ytT (\textrm{var}[\mathbf{Y}_t|\mathbf{y}_{1:T}]), and var.EytT (\textrm{var}_X[E_{Y|x}[\mathbf{Y}_t|\mathbf{y}_{1:T},\mathbf{x}_t]]).

Details

For state space models, MARSShatyt() computes the expectations involving \mathbf{Y}. If \mathbf{Y} is completely observed, this entails simply replacing \mathbf{Y} with the observed \mathbf{y}. When \mathbf{Y} is only partially observed, the expectation involves the conditional expectation of a multivariate normal.

Value

A list with the following components (n is the number of state processes). Following the notation in Holmes (2012), \mathbf{y}(1) is the observed data (for t=1:T) while \mathbf{y}(2) is the unobserved data. \mathbf{y}(1,1:t-1) is the observed data from time 1 to t-1.
