The RATS Software Forum

The attached zip has the examples and data files from Durbin and Koopman, Time Series Analysis by State Space Methods, Oxford University Press, 2001. These are all examples of the use of the DLM instruction for analyzing state space models. The examples through durkp035.rpf all work with a local level model applied to a single data set, demonstrating the various techniques that can be applied with state space models. These are generally fairly simple examples. The remaining examples are quite a bit more complicated, demonstrating more advanced techniques, including several where the state space model with Normal disturbances is used as an approximation to a non-normal dynamic model.
