✦ Synopsis


This paper presents a new application of a Kalman filter implementation of exponential smoothing with monitoring for outliers and level shifts.

The assumption is that each observation comes from one of three models: steady, outlier, or level shift. This concept was introduced as a multiprocess model by Harrison and Stevens (1976). However, their handling of the models is different. In this paper four different model-selection criteria are introduced and compared by applying them to data. The new features of the application include the four model-selection criteria and the estimation of the required parameters by maximum likelihood.
