ekf_smoother: Extended Kalman Smoothing

Description

Function ekf_smoother runs the (iterated) extended Kalman smoother for the given non-linear Gaussian model of class ssm_nlg, and returns the smoothed estimates of the states and the corresponding variances. Function ekf_fast_smoother computes only smoothed estimates of the states.

Usage

ekf_smoother(model, iekf_iter = 0)
ekf_fast_smoother(model, iekf_iter = 0)

Value

List containing the log-likelihood, smoothed state estimates alphahat, and the corresponding variances Vt and Ptt.

Arguments

model

Model of class ssm_nlg.

iekf_iter

Non-negative integer. The default zero corresponds to normal EKF, whereas iekf_iter > 0 corresponds to iterated EKF with iekf_iter iterations.

}
y <- rnorm(length(x), exp(x), sigma_y)
