FindProcessParameters

FindProcessParameters[data,proc]

finds the parameter estimates for the process proc from data.

FindProcessParameters[data,proc,{{p,p0},{q,q0},…}]

finds the parameters p, q, … with starting values p0, q0, … .

Details and Options

  • FindProcessParameters returns a list of replacement rules for the parameters in proc.
  • The data can be given in the following forms:
  • {s0,…}a path with state si at time i
    {{t0,s0},…}a path with state si at time ti
    TemporalData[…]one or several paths
  • The times ti and states si must belong to the time and state domain of the process proc.
  • The process proc can be any parametric scalar- or vector-valued process.
  • The following options can be given:
  • AccuracyGoalAutomaticthe accuracy sought
    ProcessEstimator Automaticwhat process parameter estimator to use
    PrecisionGoalAutomaticthe precision sought
    WorkingPrecision Automaticthe precision used in internal computations
  • The following basic settings can be used for ProcessEstimator:
  • Automaticautomatically choose the parameter estimator
    "MaximumLikelihood"maximize the log likelihood directly
    "MethodOfMoments"match covariance
  • Special settings for ProcessEstimator are documented under the individual random process reference pages.
  • Additional settings for time series processes include "MaximumConditionalLikelihood" and "SpectralEstimator".
  • Additional settings for HiddenMarkovProcess include "BaumWelch" and "ViterbiTraining".
