Purpose

nag_tsa_multi_kalman_sqrt_var (g13ea) performs a combined measurement and time update of one iteration of the time-varying Kalman filter using a square root covariance filter.

Syntax

[s, k, h, ifail] = g13ea(a, b, stq, q, c, r, s, 'n', n, 'm', m, 'l', l, 'tol', tol)
[s, k, h, ifail] = nag_tsa_multi_kalman_sqrt_var(a, b, stq, q, c, r, s, 'n', n, 'm', m, 'l', l, 'tol', tol)

Description

The Kalman filter arises from the state space model given by:
Xi+1=AiXi+BiWi, VarWi=Qi Yi=CiXi+Vi, VarVi=Ri  
where Xi is the state vector of length n at time i, Yi is the observation vector of length m at time i, and Wi of length l and Vi of length m are the independent state noise and measurement noise respectively.
The estimate of Xi given observations Y1 to Yi-1 is denoted by X^ii-1 with state covariance matrix VarX^ii-1=Pii-1=SiSiT, while the estimate of Xi given observations Y1 to Yi is denoted by X^ii with covariance matrix VarX^ii=Pii. The update of the estimate, X^ii-1, from time i to time i+1, is computed in two stages. First, the measurement-update is given by
X^ii=X^ii-1+KiYi-CiX^ii-1 (1)
and
Pii=I-KiCiPii-1 (2)
where Ki=Pii-1 CiT CiPii-1 CiT +Ri -1 is the Kalman gain matrix. The second stage is the time-update for X which is given by
X^i+1i=AiX^ii+DiUi (3)
and
Pi+1i=AiPii AiT +BiQi BiT (4)
where DiUi represents any deterministic control used.
The square root covariance filter algorithm provides a stable method for computing the Kalman gain matrix and the state covariance matrix. The algorithm can be summarised as
Ri1/2 CiSi 0 0 AiSi BiQi1/2 U= Hi1/2 0 0 Gi Si+1 0 (5)
where U is an orthogonal transformation triangularizing the left-hand pre-array to produce the right-hand post-array. The relationship between the Kalman gain matrix, Ki, and Gi is given by
AiKi=Gi Hi1/2 -1.  
nag_tsa_multi_kalman_sqrt_var (g13ea) requires the input of the lower triangular Cholesky factors of the noise covariance matrices Ri1/2 and, optionally, Qi1/2 and the lower triangular Cholesky factor of the current state covariance matrix, Si, and returns the product of the matrices Ai and Ki, AiKi, the Cholesky factor of the updated state covariance matrix Si+1 and the matrix Hi1/2 used in the computation of the likelihood for the model.

Parameters

Compulsory Input Parameters

1:     aldsn – double array
lds, the first dimension of the array, must satisfy the constraint ldsn.
The state transition matrix, Ai.
2:     bldsl – double array
lds, the first dimension of the array, must satisfy the constraint ldsn.
The noise coefficient matrix Bi.
3:     stq – logical scalar
If stq=true, the state noise covariance matrix Qi is assumed to be the identity matrix. Otherwise the lower triangular Cholesky factor, Qi1/2, must be provided in q.
4:     qldq: – double array
The first dimension, ldq, of the array q must satisfy
  • if stq=false, ldql;
  • otherwise ldq1.
The second dimension of the array q must be at least l if stq=false and at least 1 if stq=true.
If stq=false, q must contain the lower triangular Cholesky factor of the state noise covariance matrix, Qi1/2. Otherwise q is not referenced.
5:     cldmn – double array
ldm, the first dimension of the array, must satisfy the constraint ldmm.
The measurement coefficient matrix, Ci.
6:     rldmm – double array
ldm, the first dimension of the array, must satisfy the constraint ldmm.

7:     sldsn – double array
lds, the first dimension of the array, must satisfy the constraint ldsn.
The lower triangular Cholesky factor of the state covariance matrix, Si.

Optional Input Parameters

1:     n int64int32nag_int scalar
Default: the first dimension of the arrays a, b, s and the second dimension of the arrays a, c, s. (An error is raised if these dimensions are not equal.)
n, the size of the state vector.
Constraint: n1.
2:     m int64int32nag_int scalar
Default: the first dimension of the arrays c, r and the second dimension of the array r. (An error is raised if these dimensions are not equal.)
m, the size of the observation vector.
Constraint: m1.

Default: the second dimension of the array b.
l, the dimension of the state noise.
Constraint: l1.
4:     tol – double scalar
Default: 0.0
The tolerance used to test for the singularity of Hi1/2. If 0.0tol<m2×machine precision, then m2×machine precision is used instead. The inverse of the condition number of H1/2 is estimated by a call to nag_lapack_dtrcon (f07tg). If this estimate is less than tol then H1/2 is assumed to be singular.
Constraint: tol0.0.

Output Parameters

1:     sldsn – double array
The lower triangular Cholesky factor of the state covariance matrix, Si+1.
2:     kldsm – double array

Accuracy

The use of the square root algorithm improves the stability of the computations as compared with the direct coding of the Kalman filter. The accuracy will depend on the model.

Further Comments

For models with time-invariant A,B and C, nag_tsa_multi_kalman_sqrt_invar (g13eb) can be used.
If Wi and Vi are independent multivariate Normal variates then the log-likelihood for observations i=1,2,,t is given by
lθ = κ - 12 i=1 t l n detHi - 12 i=1 t Yi - Ci X ii-1 T H i -1 Yi - Ci X ii-1  
where κ is a constant.
The Cholesky factors of the covariance matrices can be computed using nag_lapack_dpotrf (f07fd).
Note that the model
Xi+1=AiXi+Wi, VarWi=Qi Yi=CiXi+Vi, VarVi=Ri  
can be specified either with b set to the identity matrix and stq=false and the matrix Q1/2 input in q or with stq=true and b set to Q1/2.
The algorithm requires 76n3+n2 52m+l+n12l2+m2 operations and is backward stable (see Verhaegen and van Dooren (1986)).

Example

This example first inputs the number of updates to be computed and the problem sizes. The initial state vector and state covariance matrix are input followed by the model matrices Ai,Bi,Ci,Ri and optionally Qi. The Cholesky factors of the covariance matrices can be computed if required. The model matrices can be input at each update or only once at the first step. At each update the observed values are input and the residuals are computed and printed and the estimate of the state vector, X^ii-1, and the deviance are updated. The deviance is -2×log-likelihood ignoring the constant. After the final update the state covariance matrix is computed from s and printed along with final estimate of the state vector and the value of the deviance.
The data is for a two-dimensional time series to which a VARMA1,1 has been fitted. For the specification of a VARMA model as a state space model see the G13 Chapter Introduction. The initial value of P, P0, is the solution to
P0=A1P0 A1T +B1Q1 B1T .  
For convenience, the mean of each series is input before the first update and subtracted from the observations before the measurement update is computed.
