Abstract

SUMMARY: A recursive procedure for initializing the Kalman filter is displayed. The recursion is for nonstationary state space models. The procedure imposes small computational and programming burden over and above the Kalman filter. The procedure is superior to other suggested approaches in both computational speed and general applicability. General properties of the method are investigated. Details of the initialization for the ARIMA (p,d,q) and basic structural models are considered.
