entries of the \(\alpha\) matrix, in column-major order.
That is, alpha_2 is in the lower-left position.
sigma_1, sigma_2, sigma_3
entries of the lower-triangular \(\sigma\) matrix.
sigma_2 is the entry in the lower-left position.
tau
measurement error s.d.
x1_0, x2_0
latent variable values at time t0
times
vector of observation times
t0
the zero time
Details
If the state process is \(X(t) = (X_{1}(t),X_{2}(t))\), then
$$X(t+1) = \alpha X(t) + \sigma \epsilon(t),$$
where \(\alpha\) and \(\sigma\) are 2x2 matrices,
\(\sigma\) is lower-triangular, and
\(\epsilon(t)\) is standard bivariate normal.
The observation process is \(Y(t) = (Y_1(t),Y_2(t))\), where
\(Y_i(t) \sim \mathrm{normal}(X_i(t),\tau)\).
