lssm_process

Name
         lssm_process
Purpose
         return a one dimensional LSSM model evenly time series
     state equation       : x(t) = 'AR[p]_process'
     observation equation : y(t) = C*x(t)+noise    , noise = N(0,lssmsig)
Category
         timing tools

         none
Keyword Parameters
         a1         : if set, work with AR[1] process
         a2         : if set, work with AR[2] process
         relaxation : parameter value of the AR[1&2] process ; damping
                      rate (in  bins)
         period     : parameter value of the AR[2] process ; period
         sig        : parameter value of the AR[1&2] process ; variance

         c          : parameter value of the AR[1&2] process ;
                      influence in the mean (if not set, equal 0)
         lssmc      : design matrix, C, who maps the unobservable
                      dynamics to the observation. (y(t) = C*x(t) + noise)
         lssmsig    : variance of the observable white noise
                      component ( noise = N(0,sig)
