We discuss conditionally Gaussian dynamic linear models for analysis and forecasting of univariate time series and present simulation-based methods for Bayesian filtering and smoothing within this class of models, including Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods.
Overview
Abstract
We discuss conditionally Gaussian dynamic linear models for analysis and forecasting of univariate time series and present simulation-based methods for Bayesian filtering and smoothing within this class of models, including Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. We illustrate the use of these models in several applied settings. We also present extensions to non-linear dynamic models, mixture state-space models and multi-process models.
