Review of SsfPack 2.2: statistical algorithms for models in state space
نویسندگان
چکیده
SsfPack is a set of procedures with a strong link to the object-oriented matrix programming language Ox. In this review I Þrst discuss installation issues and prerequisites for a productive use of SsfPack, namely statistical and econometric knowledge, programming skills and additional software. Next I discuss the documentation and sample programs. Before concluding I discuss extensions in the direction of user-friendly programs.

SsfPack 2.0: Statistical algorithms for models in state space An Ox link to underlying C code
This paper discusses and documents the algorithms provided by SsfPack 2.0 (release date March 30, 1998). SsfPack is a suite of C routines for carrying out computations involving the statistical analysis of univariate and multivariate models in state space form. Functions are available for prediction, filtering, moment smoothing, simulation smoothing and forecasting. The headers of these routine...
متن کاملState Space Modeling in Macroeconomics and Finance Using SsfPack for S+FinMetrics
This paper surveys some common state space models used in macroeconomics and finance and shows how to specify and estimate these models using the SsfPack algorithms implemented in the S-PLUS module S+FinMetrics. Examples include recursive regression models, time varying parameter models, exact autoregressive moving average models and calculation of the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition, unobserved...

متن کاملState Space Methods in Ox/SsfPack
The use of state space models and their inference is illustrated using the package SsfPack for Ox. After a rather long introduction that explains the use of SsfPack and many of its functions, four case-studies illustrate the practical implementation of the software to real world problems through short sample programs. The first case consists in the analysis of the well-known (at least to time s...
