State-Space Modelling of Time Series Sampled from Continuous Processes with Pulses
具有脉冲的连续过程采样时间序列的状态空间建模
A non-Gaussian time series model useful for describing the dynamics of endocrinological data is introduced by using a state-space representation. This model is applicable even when the data are sparsely sampled in comparison with time lengths of pulses. Likelihood-based methods of inference for the model are developed. By fitting the present model to partially observed hormonal time series data, we can estimate the locations and heights of the peaks of the pulses as well as…
