Commandeur & Koopman, State Space Time Series Analysis

[TomDoan]

The attached zip has the examples and data sets from Commandeur & Koopman, An Introduction to State Space Time Series Analysis, Oxford University Press 2007. These are all examples of the use of the DLM instruction for analyzing state space models; in almost all cases, these are applications of structural time series models (local level or local trend with or without seasonality) which decompose a time series into the sum of two or more uncorrelated components. The examples are the most straightforward of any from the books that we have on the subject.

Dear Tom:
In code of Chapter 8 - Norway & Finland data, forecasts, commandure & koopman(2007), there is a spelling error.
In finland code:
nonlin sigsqeps sigsqxi=0.0 sigsqzeta
dlm(a=at,c=ct,sv=sigsqeps,f=ft,sw=%diag(||sigsqxi,sigsqzeta||),exact,y=logfinland,$
method=bfgs,yhat=vhat,svhat=svhat) * 2008:1 xstates vstates
set forecast 1970:3 2008:1 = %if(t<=2003:1,%scalar(yhat),%scalar(xstates(t)))
set fvariance 1970:3 2008:1 = %if(t<=2003:1,%scalar(svhat),%scalar(vstates(t)))

vhat and yhat should be same.


Best Regard.
Hardmann

Yes. It should read

dlm(a=at,c=ct,sv=sigsqeps,f=ft,sw=%diag(||sigsqxi,sigsqzeta||),exact,y=logfinland,$
method=bfgs,yhat=yhat,svhat=svhat) * 2008:1 xstates vstates

Dear Tom

I use STAMP 6.3 to estime the each model, the Log-Likelihood is very different from the one estimated from RATS, even is different from result from the Commandeur & Koopman book, so does AIC.
For example, as for the local determininstic level model for uk log KSI, the Log-Likelihood is 334.331 for STAMP, 63.3139 for RATS, 0.329757 for C&K book.
Why is these very different .

Best Regard

Have you checked whether the difference is due to the (log) integrating constants? RATS includes those, but the inclusion/exclusion has no effect on any of the estimates.

There are different ways to define AIC. @REGCRITS standardizes AIC by dividing by the number of observations---that doesn't change the ordering of models.
