The `bssm` R package provides efficient methods for Bayesian inference of state
space models via particle Markov chain Monte Carlo and importance sampling type
weighted MCMC.
Currently Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, and Gamma observation
densities with linear-Gaussian state dynamics, as well as general non-linear
Gaussian models and discretely observed latent diffusion processes are
supported.

The `bssm` package was originally developed with the support of Academy of Finland grants 284513, 312605, 311877, and 331817. Current development is focused on increased usability. For recent changes, see NEWS file.

## Example
Consider the daily air quality measurements in New Your from May to September 1973, available in the `datasets` package. Let's try to predict the missing ozone levels by simple linear-Gaussian local linear trend model with temperature and wind as explanatory variables (missing response variables are handled naturally in the state space modelling framework, however no missing values in covariates are normally allowed);
```{r example}
library("bssm")
library("dplyr")
library("ggplot2")
set.seed(1)
data("airquality", package = "datasets")
# Covariates as matrix. For complex cases, check out as_bssm function
xreg <- airquality |> select(Wind, Temp) |> as.matrix()
model <- bsm_lg(airquality$Ozone,
xreg = xreg,
# Define priors for hyperparameters (i.e. not the states), see ?bssm_prior
# Initial value followed by parameters of the prior distribution
beta = normal_prior(rep(0, ncol(xreg)), 0, 1),
sd_y = gamma_prior(1, 2, 0.01),
sd_level = gamma_prior(1, 2, 0.01),
sd_slope = gamma_prior(1, 2, 0.01))
fit <- run_mcmc(model, iter = 20000, burnin = 5000)
fit
obs <- data.frame(Time = 1:nrow(airquality),
Ozone = airquality$Ozone) |> filter(!is.na(Ozone))
pred <- fitted(fit, model)
pred |>
ggplot(aes(x = Time, y = Mean)) +
geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = `2.5%`, ymax = `97.5%`),
alpha = 0.5, fill = "steelblue") +
geom_line() +
geom_point(data = obs,
aes(x = Time, y = Ozone), colour = "Tomato") +
theme_bw()
```
Same model but now assuming observations are from Gamma distribution:
```{r gamma-example}
model2 <- bsm_ng(airquality$Ozone,
xreg = xreg,
beta = normal(rep(0, ncol(xreg)), 0, 1),
distribution = "gamma",
phi = gamma_prior(1, 2, 0.01),
sd_level = gamma_prior(1, 2, 0.1),
sd_slope = gamma_prior(1, 2, 0.1))
fit2 <- run_mcmc(model2, iter = 20000, burnin = 5000, particles = 10)
fit2
```
Comparison:
```{r compare}
pred2 <- fitted(fit2, model2)
bind_rows(list(Gaussian = pred, Gamma = pred2), .id = "Model") |>
ggplot(aes(x = Time, y = Mean)) +
geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = `2.5%`, ymax = `97.5%`, fill = Model),
alpha = 0.25) +
geom_line(aes(colour = Model)) +
geom_point(data = obs,
aes(x = Time, y = Ozone)) +
theme_bw()
```
Now let's assume that we also want to use the solar radiation variable as predictor for ozone. As it contains few missing values, we cannot use it directly. As the number of missing time points is very small, simple imputation would likely be acceptable, but let's consider more another approach. For simplicity, the slope terms of the previous models are now omitted, and we focus on the Gaussian case. Let $\mu_t$ be the true solar radiation at time $t$. Now for ozone $O_t$ we assume following model:
$O_t = D_t + \alpha_t + \beta_S \mu_t + \sigma_\epsilon \epsilon_t$\
$\alpha_{t+1} = \alpha_t + \sigma_\eta\eta_t$\
$\alpha_1 \sim N(0, 100^2\textrm{I})$,\
wheere $D_t = \beta X_t$ contains regression terms related to wind and temperature, $\alpha_t$ is the time varying intercept term, and $\beta_S$ is the effect of solar radiation $\mu_t$.
Now for the observed solar radiation $S_t$ we assume
$S_t = \mu_t$\
$\mu_{t+1} = \mu_t + \sigma_\xi\xi_t,$\
$\mu_1 \sim N(0, 100^2)$,\
i.e. we assume as simple random walk for the $\mu$ which we observe without error or not at all (there is no error term in the observation equation $S_t=\mu_t$).
We combine these two models as a bivariate Gaussian model with `ssm_mlg`:
```{r missing-values}
# predictors (not including solar radiation) for ozone
xreg <- airquality |> select(Wind, Temp) |> as.matrix()
# Function which outputs new model components given the parameter vector theta
update_fn <- function(theta) {
D <- rbind(t(xreg %*% theta[1:2]), 1)
Z <- matrix(c(1, 0, theta[3], 1), 2, 2)
R <- diag(exp(theta[4:5]))
H <- diag(c(exp(theta[6]), 0))
# add third dimension so we have p x n x 1, p x m x 1, p x p x 1 arrays
dim(Z)[3] <- dim(R)[3] <- dim(H)[3] <- 1
list(D = D, Z = Z, R = R, H = H)
}
# Function for log-prior density
prior_fn <- function(theta) {
sum(dnorm(theta[1:3], 0, 10, log = TRUE)) +
sum(dgamma(exp(theta[4:6]), 2, 0.01, log = TRUE)) +
sum(theta[4:6]) # log-jacobian
}
init_theta <- c(0, 0, 0, log(50), log(5), log(20))
comps <- update_fn(init_theta)
model <- ssm_mlg(y = cbind(Ozone = airquality$Ozone, Solar = airquality$Solar.R),
Z = comps$Z, D = comps$D, H = comps$H, T = diag(2), R = comps$R,
a1 = rep(0, 2), P1 = diag(100, 2), init_theta = init_theta,
state_names = c("alpha", "mu"), update_fn = update_fn,
prior_fn = prior_fn)
fit <- run_mcmc(model, iter = 60000, burnin = 10000)
fit
```
Draw predictions:
```{r bivariate-fig}
pred <- fitted(fit, model)
obs <- data.frame(Time = 1:nrow(airquality),
Solar = airquality$Solar.R) |> filter(!is.na(Solar))
pred |> filter(Variable == "Solar") |>
ggplot(aes(x = Time, y = Mean)) +
geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = `2.5%`, ymax = `97.5%`),
alpha = 0.5, fill = "steelblue") +
geom_line() +
geom_point(data = obs,
aes(x = Time, y = Solar), colour = "Tomato") +
theme_bw()
obs <- data.frame(Time = 1:nrow(airquality),
Ozone = airquality$Ozone) |> filter(!is.na(Ozone))
pred |> filter(Variable == "Ozone") |>
ggplot(aes(x = Time, y = Mean)) +
geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = `2.5%`, ymax = `97.5%`),
alpha = 0.5, fill = "steelblue") +
geom_line() +
geom_point(data = obs,
aes(x = Time, y = Ozone), colour = "Tomato") +
theme_bw()
```
