The following public methods are used to construct a stochastic state space model system, consisting of a set of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), and one or more algebraic observation equations (AOEs). The AOEs are used to infer information about the value of the (latent) states governed by the SDEs, and thus must be functions of at least one state.
Value
The function returns an object of class R6 and ctsmTMB,
which can be used to define a stochastic state space system.
Methods
Method .private()
Extract the private fields of a ctsmTMB model object. Primarily used for debugging.
Method getPrivateFields()

Method addSystem()
Define stochastic differential equation(s) on the form
d<state> ~ f(t,<states>, <inputs>) * dt + g(t, <states>, <inputs>) * dw
Method addObs()
Define algebraic observation equations on the form
<observation> ~ h(t, <states>, <inputs>) + e)
where h is the observation function, and e is normally
distributed noise with zero mean.
This function only specifies the observation name, and its mean through h.
Arguments
forma formula specifying an observation equation
...additional formulas similar to
formfor specifying multiple equations at once.obsnamescharacter vector specifying the name of the observation. This is used when the left-hand side of
formconsists of more than just a single variable (of class 'call').
Method setVariance()
Specify the variance of an observation equation.
A defined observation variable y in e.g. addObs(y ~
h(t,<states>,<inputs>) is perturbed by Gaussian noise with zero mean and
variance
to-be specified using setVariance(y ~ p(t,<states>,<inputs>).
We can for instance declare setVariance(y ~ sigma_x^2
where sigma_x is a fixed effect parameter to be declared through
setParameter.
Method addInput()
Declare variables as data inputs
Declare whether a variable contained in system, observation or observation
variance equations is an input variable. If e.g. the system equation contains
an input variable u then it is declared using addInput(u).
The input u must be contained in the data.frame .data provided
when calling the estimate or predict methods.
Method setParameter()
Declare which variables that are (fixed effects) parameters in the specified model, and specify the initial optimizer guess, as well as lower / upper bounds during optimization. There are two ways to declare parameters:
You can declare parameters using formulas i.e.
setParameter( theta = c(1,0,10), mu = c(0,-10,10) ). The first value is the initial value for the optimizer, the second value is the lower optimization bound and the third value is the upper optimization bound.You can provide a 3-column matrix where rows corresponds to different parameters, and the parameter names are provided as rownames of the matrix. The columns values corresponds to the description in the vector format above.
Method setAlgebraics()
Add algebraic relations.
Algebraic relations is a convenient way to transform parameters in your equations.
In the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process the rate parameter theta is always positive, so
estimation in the log-domain is a good idea. Instead of writing exp(theta) directly
in the system equation one can transform into the log domain using the algebraic relation
setAlgebraics(theta ~ exp(logtheta)). All instances of theta is replaced
by exp(logtheta) when compiling the C++ function. Note that you must provide values
for logtheta now instead of theta when declaring parameters through
setParameter
Method setInitialState()
Declare the initial state values i.e. mean and covariance for the system states.
Method setInitialVarianceScaling()
A scalar value that is multiplied onto the estimated initial state covariance matrix. The scaling is only applied when the initial state/cov is estimated, not when it is set by the user.
Method setLamperti()
Set a Lamperti Transformation
If the provided system equations have state dependent diffusion in a few available ways then it is advantageous to perform a transformation to remove the state dependence. This comes at the cost of a more complicated drift function. The following types of state-dependence is currently supported
'identity' - when the diffusion is state-independent (default)
'log' - when the diffusion is proportional to to x * dw
'logit' - when the diffusion is proportional to x * (1-x) * dw
'sqrt-logit' - when the diffusion is proportional to sqrt(x * (1-x)) * dw
Method setModelname()
Set modelname used to create the C++ file for TMB
When calling TMB::MakeADFun the (negative log) likelihood function
is created in the directory specified by the setCppfilesDirectory
method with name <modelname>.cpp
Method setMAP()
Enable maximum a posterior (MAP) estimation.
Adds a maximum a posterior contribution to the (negative log) likelihood
function by evaluating the fixed effects parameters in a multivariate Gaussian
with mean and covariance as provided.
Method setAdvancedSettings()
Enable maximum a posterior (MAP) estimation.
Adds a maximum a posterior contribution to the (negative log) likelihood
function by evaluating the fixed effects parameters in a multivariate Gaussian
with mean and covariance as provided.
Arguments
force.ada boolean indicating whether to use state space functions that take advantage of the RTMB::AD(...,force=TRUE) hack which reduces compilation time call to MakeADFun by 20%. This breaks some functionalities such as REPORT.
rtmb.tapeconfigoptions to be passed to TapeConfig.

methodThe natural TMB-style formulation where latent states are considered random effects and are integrated out using the Laplace approximation. This method only yields the gradient of the (negative log) likelihood function with respect to the fixed effects for optimization. The method is slower although probably has some precision advantages, and allows for non-Gaussian observation noise (not yet implemented). One-step / K-step residuals are not yet available in the package.
(Continuous-Discrete) Extended Kalman Filter where the system dynamics are linearized to handle potential non-linearities. This is computationally the fastest method.
(Continuous-Discrete) Unscented Kalman Filter. This is a higher order non-linear Kalman Filter which improves the mean and covariance estimates when the system display high nonlinearity, and circumvents the necessity to compute the Jacobian of the drift and observation functions.
All package features are currently available for the kalman filters, while TMB is limited to parameter estimation. In particular, it is straight-forward to obtain k-step-ahead predictions with these methods (use the
predictS3 method), and stochastic simulation is also available in the cases where long prediction horizons are sought, where the normality assumption will be inaccurateode.solverSets the ODE solver used in the Kalman Filter methods for solving the moment differential equations.
