The SIML Filtering Method for Noisy Non-stationary Economic Time Series

In this book, we explain the development of a new filtering method to estimate the hidden states of random variables for multiple non-stationary time series data. This method is particularly helpful in analyzing small-sample non-stationary macro-economic time series. The method is based on the frequency-domain application of the separating information maximum likelihood (SIML) method, which was proposed by Kunitomo, Sato, and Kurisu (Springer, 2018) for financial high-frequency time series. We s
