Multivariate Time Series Data Imputation

This is an EM algorithm based method for imputation of missing values in multivariate normal time series. The imputation algorithm accounts for both spatial and temporal correlation structures. Temporal patterns can be modeled using an ARIMA(p,d,q), optionally with seasonal components, a non-parametric cubic spline or generalized additive models with exogenous covariates. This algorithm is specially tailored for climate data with missing measurements from several monitors along a given region.

Manipulate Time Series of Climate Reconstructions

Methods to easily extract and manipulate climate reconstructions for ecological and anthropological analyses, as described in Leonardi et al. (2023) . The package includes datasets of palaeoclimate reconstructions, present observations, and future projections from multiple climate models.

Inferring Causal Effects using Bayesian Structural Time-Series Models

Implements a Bayesian approach to causal impact estimation in time series, as described in Brodersen et al. (2015) . See the package documentation on GitHub < https://google.github.io/CausalImpact/> to get started.

Nonlinear Time Series Models with Regime Switching

Implements nonlinear autoregressive (AR) time series models. For univariate series, a non-parametric approach is available through additive nonlinear AR. Parametric modeling and testing for regime switching dynamics is available when the transition is either direct (TAR: threshold AR) or smooth (STAR: smooth transition AR, LSTAR). For multivariate series, one can estimate a range of TVAR or threshold cointegration TVECM models with two or three regimes. Tests can be conducted for TVAR as well as for TVECM (Hansen and Seo 2002 and Seo 2006).

Mixture Hidden Markov Models for Social Sequence Data and Other Multivariate, Multichannel Categorical Time Series

Designed for estimating variants of hidden (latent) Markov models (HMMs), mixture HMMs, and non-homogeneous HMMs (NHMMs) for social sequence data and other categorical time series. Special cases include feedback-augmented NHMMs, Markov models without latent layer, mixture Markov models, and latent class models. The package supports models for one or multiple subjects with one or multiple parallel sequences (channels). External covariates can be added to explain cluster membership in mixture models as well as initial, transition and emission probabilities in NHMMs. The package provides functions for evaluating and comparing models, as well as functions for visualizing of multichannel sequence data and HMMs. For NHMMs, methods for computing average causal effects and marginal state and emission probabilities are available. Models are estimated using maximum likelihood via the EM algorithm or direct numerical maximization with analytical gradients. Documentation is available via several vignettes, and Helske and Helske (2019, ). For methodology behind the NHMMs, see Helske (2025, ).

Time Series Goodness of Fit and Forecast Evaluation Tests

Goodness of Fit and Forecast Evaluation Tests for timeseries models. Includes, among others, the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) Orthogonality Test of Hansen (1982), the Nyblom (1989) parameter constancy test, the sign-bias test of Engle and Ng (1993), and a range of tests for value at risk and expected shortfall evaluation.

Time Series Regression

Time series regression. The dyn class interfaces ts, irts(), zoo() and zooreg() time series classes to lm(), glm(), loess(), quantreg::rq(), MASS::rlm(), MCMCpack::MCMCregress(), quantreg::rq(), randomForest::randomForest() and other regression functions allowing those functions to be used with time series including specifications that may contain lags, diffs and missing values.
