Holt: A constructor for a Holt trend state-space model.

In bayesforecast: Bayesian Time Series Modeling with Stan

Description

Constructor of the ets("A","A","Z") object for Bayesian estimation in Stan.

Usage

Holt(ts,damped = FALSE,xreg = NULL,genT = FALSE,series.name = NULL)

Arguments

ts	a numeric or ts object with the univariate time series.
damped	a boolean value to specify a damped trend local level model. By default is FALSE. If trend option is FALSE then damped is set to FALSE automatically.
xreg	Optionally, a numerical matrix of external regressors, which must have the same number of rows as ts. It should not be a data frame.
genT	a boolean value to specify for a generalized t-student SSM model.
series.name	an optional string vector with the time series names.

Details

The function returns a list with the data for running stan() function of rstan package.

When genT option is TRUE a t-student innovations ssm model (see Ardia (2010)) is generated see Fonseca, et. al (2019) for more details.

The default priors used in a ssm( ) model are:

• level ~ normal(0,0.5)

• trend ~ normal(0,0.5)

• damped~ normal(0,0.5)

• sigma0 ~ t-student(0,1,7)

• level1 ~ normal(0,1)

• trend1 ~ normal(0,1)

• dfv ~ gamma(2,0.1)

• breg ~ t-student(0,2.5,6)

For changing the default prior use the function set_prior().

Value

The function returns a list with the data for running stan() function of rstan package.
