Smoothing a Time Series

Dear R-Team,

i only want to smooth a time series with a Kalmen Filter in R (KFAS).

I found code in the Internet, which I had to change a little bit.

Now I get the following error-message. I don?t know what I have

to do now.

Fehler in is.SSModel(do.call(updatefn, args = c(list(inits, model), update_args)),  : 
  Storage mode of some of the model attributes 'p', 'k', 'm', 'n', 'tv' is not integer.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely

Tobias Gramer
