Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Linear state-space models -- 3. Model transformations -- 4. Filtering and smoothing -- 5. Likelihood computation for fixed-coefficients models -- 6. The likelihood of models with varying parameters -- 7. Subspace methods -- 8. Signal extraction -- 9. The VARMAX representation of a state-space model -- 10. Aggregation and disaggregation of time series -- 11. Cross-sectional extension : longitudinal and panel data -- Appendices.
Summary: This book presents many computational procedures that can be applied to a previously specified linear model in state-space form. After discussing the formulation of the state-space model, the book illustrates the flexibility of the state-space representation and covers the main state estimation algorithms: filtering and smoothing. It then shows how to compute the Gaussian likelihood for unknown coefficients in the state-space matrices of a given model before introducing subspace methods and their application. It also discusses signal extraction, describes two algorithms to obtain the VARMAX matrices corresponding to any linear state-space model, and addresses several issues relating to the aggregation and disaggregation of time series. The book concludes with a cross-sectional extension to the classical state-space formulation in order to accommodate longitudinal or panel data. Missing data is a common occurrence here, and the book explains imputation procedures necessary to treat missingness in both exogenous and endogenous variables.
