Kalman smoothing of the covid model

Description

This function does Kalman smoothing for the simple model that is used to predict new COVID-19 cases.

Usage

covidSmooth(par, y)

Arguments

par

Logarithms of the variance parameters of drift, seasonal component, and error term

y

Univariate numeric time series of new COVID-19 cases

Details

See loglikCovid.

Value

Xif

Matrix of filtered values, where the state vectors are given as rows

Xis

Matrix of smoothed values, where the state vectors are given as rows

Pmat

Array of state uncertainty matrices, evaluated at time t-1. The first array index is for time.

Pfmat

Array of state uncertainty matrices, evaluated at time t. The first array index is for time.

Psmat

Array of state uncertainty matrices, evaluated at time n, where n is the number of observations. The first array index is for time.
