the dimension of the space, the state vectors live in.
This function returns a list with the following components:

The following argument(s) require some explanation:
lag1Streams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
of streams for
currentPeriod - 1
.
lag1LogWeights
a vector of length nStreams
of
log weights corresponding to the streams in the argument matrix
lag1Streams
.
streamIndices
a vector of length nStreams
for
which the stream representatives (μ_t^k of Pitt and
Shephard, 1999) for currentPeriod
are to be generated. See
the sub-section Note: below.
a matrix of dimension nStreamIndices
x dimPerPeriod
. The rows of this matrix
contain the stream representative for period currentPeriod
,
given the state vectors to be found in the streamIndices
rows of the argument lag1Streams
matrix. Here
nStreamIndices
is the length of the argument
streamIndices
.
The following points are in order:
this function should distinguish the cases
currentPeriod == 1
and currentPeriod > 1
inside of
it.
for details on the stream representatives (i.e.,
μ_t^k), see of Pitt and Shephard, 1999. The quantity
μ_t^k could be the mean, the mode, a draw or some other
likely value associated with the state density for period
currentPeriod
(i.e., f(α_t \mid α_{t -
1})).
this function is called by setting streamIndices
to
1:nStreams
, i.e., stream representatives for all the
streams in the argument lag1Streams
matrix is
generated.
The following argument(s) require some explanation:
lag1Streams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
of streams for
currentPeriod - 1
.
lag1LogWeights
a vector of length nStreams
of
log weights corresponding to the streams in the argument matrix
lag1Streams
.
streamIndices
a vector of length >=
nStreams
which are to be updated from currentPeriod -
1
to currentPeriod
.
streamReps
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
of the stream representatives
for currentPeriod
.
startingStreams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
to be used for
currentPeriod = 1
. If this is NULL
, then the
function should provide a way to generate streams for
currentPeriod = 1
.
a matrix of dimension nStreamIndices
x dimPerPeriod
. The rows of this matrix
contain the state vectors for period currentPeriod
, given
the state vectors to be found in the streamIndices
rows of
the argument lag1Streams
matrix. Here nStreamIndices
is the length of the argument streamIndices
.
The following points are in order:
this function should distinguish the cases
currentPeriod == 1
and currentPeriod > 1
inside of
it.
this function is called by setting streamIndices
such that nStreamIndices
takes either of the two values
nStreams
or nStreamsPreResamp
in different
ocassions.
The following argument(s) require some explanation:
currentStreams
a matrix with dimPerPeriod
columns, the rows containing the streams for
currentPeriod
.
a vector of length nCurrentStreams
,
where nCurrentStreams
refers to the number of rows of the
currentStreams
matrix argument. This vector contains the
observation equation density values for currentPeriod
in
the log scale, evaluated at the rows of currentStreams
.
nCurrentStreams
might be >=
nStreams
.
The following argument(s) require some explanation:
currentStreams
a matrix with dimPerPeriod
columns, the rows containing the updated streams for
currentPeriod
.
currentLogWeights
a vector of log weights
corresponding to the streams in the argument matrix
currentStreams
.
TRUE
or FALSE
reflecting the
decision of the resampling scheme implemented by this function.
The following points are in order:
resampling schemes manily depend on
currentLogWeights
, the other two arguments might come in
handy for implementing period or stream specific resampling
schemes.
if nStreamsPreResamp
> nStreams
, then this
function should always return TRUE
.
see the sub-section Arguments: for section Optional function: resampCriterionFunc.
a named list with the following components:
currentStreams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
. The rows of this matrix
contain the streams for period currentPeriod + 1
that were
resampled from those of the argument currentStreams
matrix,
which may contain >= nStreams
rows.
currentLogWeights
The log weights vector of length
nStreams
, associated with the streams that were resampled
in the returned currentStreams
matrix. Note, after the
resampling step, usually all the log weights are set to 0.
the components of the list returned by this function
and the arguments to this function have two common names, namely,
currentStreams
and currentLogWeights
. These entities
have different meanings, as explained above. For example, the
argument matrix currentStreams
could possibly have
>= nStreams
rows, whereas the returned
currentStreams
has exactly nStreams
number of
(resampled) streams in its rows.
The following argument(s) require some explanation:
currentStreams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
of streams for
currentPeriod
.
currentLogWeights
a vector of log weights
corresponding to the streams in the argument matrix
currentStreams
.
a vector of length of dimSummPerPeriod
of summaries for currentPeriod
given the
currentStreams
and the currentLogWeights
.
The following argument(s) require some explanation:
nMHSteps
the number of Metropolis Hastings (MH) steps (iterations) to be performed.
currentStreams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
of streams for
currentPeriod
.
lag1Streams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
of streams for
currentPeriod - 1
.
lag1LogWeights
a vector of length nStreams
of
log weights corresponding to the streams in the argument matrix
lag1Streams
.
a named list with the following components:
currentStreams
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
. The rows of this matrix
contain the streams for period currentPeriod
that are
(possibly) MH-updated versions of the rows of the argument
currentStreams
matrix.
acceptanceRates
a vector of length nStreams
,
representing the acceptance rates of the nMHSteps
MH steps
for each of the streams in the rows of the argument
currentStreams
matrix.
a positive value of nMHSteps
performs as many MH
steps on the rows of the argument currentStreams
matrix. This is done to reduce the possible degeneracy after the
resampling.
Using very small values (<= 1e3
) for nStreams
might not give reliable results.
The effect of leaving the default value NULL
for some of the
arguments above are as follows:
resampCriterionFunc
the builtin resampling criterion, namely, resample when square of the coefficient of variation of the weights >= 1, is used.
resampFunc
the builtin resampling function, which resamples streams with probability proportional to their weights, is used.
summaryFunc
the builtin summary function, which
returns the weighted average of each of the dimPerPeriod
dimensions, is used.
MHUpdateFunc
unlike,
particleFilter
, there is no builtin Metropolis
Hastings updating function, which generates proposals for
currentPeriod
streams using those of currentPeriod -
1
. The user needs to implement this function if
nMHSteps
> 0.
nStreamsPreResamp
it is set to nStreams
.
Also, the following point is worth noting:
resampCriterionFunc
, resampFunc
,
summaryFunc
are only necessary when user wants to try out new resampling schemes or enhanced summary generation procedures, as part of their research. The default builtins take care of the typical problems.
This function returns a list with component called draw
. The
detailed description of this component, as promised in section
Value, is as follows. It is a list itself with the following
components:
summary
a matrix of dimension nPeriods
x dimSummPerPeriod
.
propUniqueStreamIds
a vector of length
nPeriods
. The values are either proportions of unique
streams accpeted (at each period) if resampling was done or
NA
.
streams
an array of dimension nStreams
x dimPerPeriod
x
nPeriods
. This is returned if returnStreams = TRUE
.
logWeights
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x nPeriods
. This is returned if
returnLogWeights = TRUE
.
acceptanceRates
a matrix of dimension nStreams
x nPeriods
. This is returned if
nMHSteps > 0
.
