Hi all, I am a student and I ma writing my master thesis about oil and gasoline options. In my master thesis I would like to estimate some parameter of the oil market. I base my pricing models according to Schwartz (1997). In order to get those data a I need to run a Kalman filter algorith with mximisation of the likelihodd. I am not that familiar with R. Can any of you suggestment a basic code to run the kalman filter?, so I can use it as a starting point to build up more complex one? Does any of you can suggest me a good book about R? Thank you for your help. Teo -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Implementing-a-Kalman-filter-in-R-tp4630597.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Implementing a Kalman filter in R

R has four "Kalman" functions -- type apropos("Kalman") to see them --
then you can get info about any of them in particular by typing ?
funcname or running example(funcname) to see worked examples.
Beyond the scope of your question, you also might be interested in

In addition to the papers suggested by Roy, if you are interested in a book-length treatment of state space models and Kalman filter in R, I would look at http://www.springer.com/978-0-387-77237-0 And I would carry out the implementation in R using package dlm Just my (biased) 2 cents....
