pomp (version 2.2)

pred.mean: Prediction mean

Description

The mean of the prediction distribution

Usage

# S4 method for kalmand_pomp
pred.mean(object, vars, ...)

# S4 method for pfilterd_pomp pred.mean(object, vars, ...)

Arguments

object

result of a filtering computation

vars

optional character; names of variables

...

ignored

Details

The prediction distribution is that of $$X_t \vert Y_1=y^*_1,\dots,Y_{t-1}=y^*_{t-1},$$ where \(X_t\), \(Y_t\) are the latent state and observable processes, respectively, and \(y^*_t\) is the data, at time \(t\).

The prediction mean is therefore the expectation of this distribution $$E[X_t \vert Y_1=y^*_1,\dots,Y_{t-1}=y^*_{t-1}].$$
