Using the Kalman filter for GLS
Apply same Kalman filter to Yt and each of the columns of Xt
⇒ A p × 1 vector of innovations, Yt∗ on Yt and
⇒ a p × m matrix of innovations, X∗t on (X1t , . . . , Xmt ) are
produced.
⇒ Run recursions for Pt|t−1 , Pt|t and Ft only once rather than
m + 1 times.

Problem: unobservable state process S
3
Use an EM algorithm (e.g. Shumway and Stoffer 1982)
4
RMN topology: restrictions on parametrisation
⇒ Q and Φ have some parameters in common
⇒ Adapt existing EM algorithm for SS models
5
Presence of the exogenous variables ⇒ use ECM algorithm.
⇒ Split M-step in two CM-steps.
⇒ CM step 1: Update the parameters of the dependence
structure Ψα given the current values of the mean model β.
⇒ CM step 2: estimate of β using the updated values of Ψα .
