Abstract

A linear wide-sense state space model for an observable p-variate stochastic process Y t , defined on an appropriate probability space \((\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{P})\), is described by the following set of equations:

$$\begin{array}{rlrlrl}{Y }_{t}& = {Z}_{t}{\alpha }_{t} + {d}_{t} + {\epsilon }_{t},& & \cr {\alpha }_{t+1}& = {T}_{t}{\alpha }_{t} + {c}_{t} + {R}_{t}{\eta }_{t}.& \cr \end{array}$$
(2.1)

The first equation is usually called the measurement equation, and the second is known as the state equation.
