The intercept vector for the latent variables in the state space model \(\boldsymbol{\alpha}\) is given by $$ \boldsymbol{\alpha} = \mathrm{Mean} \left( \boldsymbol{\eta} \right) - \boldsymbol{\beta} \mathrm{Mean} \left( \boldsymbol{\eta} \right) $$ where \(\boldsymbol{\beta}\) is the transition matrix relating the values of the latent variables at the previous to the current time point, \(\mathrm{Mean} \left( \boldsymbol{\eta} \right)\) is the steady-state mean vector for the latent variables.

Usage

SSMInterceptEta(beta, mean_eta)

Arguments

beta

Numeric matrix. Transition matrix relating the values of the latent variables at the previous to the current time point (\(\boldsymbol{\beta}\)).

mean_eta

Numeric vector. Steady-state mean vector of the latent variables \(\mathrm{Mean} \left( \boldsymbol{\eta} \right)\).
