Local Level

Usage

locallevel(name, variance = 0.01, fixed = FALSE, initial = NaN)

Arguments

name

name of the component.

variance

the value of the variance (\(\sigma^2_l\)).

fixed

boolean that triggers estimation of \(\sigma^2_l\) (FALSE) or fixes it (TRUE) to a pre-specified value set by the parameter variance.

initial

initial value of the level (\(l_0\)).

Details

$$\begin{cases}l_{t+1} = l_t + \mu_t \\ \mu_t \sim N(0, \sigma^2 \sigma^2_l) \end{cases} $$
