Hi,
I never had a chance to the read the book mentioned by Sébastien... And I won't buy it. So I do not know if we follow the methodology described by Durbin and Koopman (kalman filters with missing observations were implemented in Dynare in 2010 or even before I do not remember, and there is an old literature about this problem). Adding NaNs in the datafile is not the whole story if you want to mix frequencies. You also need to adapt the model. For instance, if your model is quaterly but you also have yearly observed data, you need to add an equation to relate the yearly data to the quaterly variables (except if the yearly variable is a stock which is not the case in general). More generally you need to write the model in the highest frequency and add measurement equations in order link the variables with different frequencies.
Best, Stéphane.

Yes, Dynare can handle missing observations in the dataset. Which means that if you have a quarterly series and a annual series, you can mix them, by putting missing observations for the annual series in Q2, Q3 an d Q4. Dynare will be able to run the filter, using the methodology described in Durbin and Koopman (2012): "Time Series Analysis by State Space Methods", second edition, Ch. 4.10.

Hi,
I agree with Stéphane. The current Kalman filter implementation treats missing observations as unobserved states. This is standard and the book reference is just one of the standard references that can be cited there.
As Stéphane says, mixed frequency filtering is something different and not (yet) implemented as it requires explicitly setting up observation equations within the model-block to link the different frequencies.
That being said, you might already be able to do mixed frequency filtering and smoothing in Dynare if you can nest it within the standard Kalman filtering framework. But there is no dedicated functionality and syntax.
Best,
Johannes

It is not evident for me that we should do anything more than providing support for missing observations in Dynare.
Mixed frequency filtering is a modeling issue of the responsibility of the user. Having missing observations supported makes it possible (easy?) to do it in Dynare as it is.
Specifying how the data of different frequencies intermix is highly model dependent and I don't see what kind of additional standard tools (dedicated functionality) we could provide.

Dear Johannes,
I do not have the edition of the book by Durbin and Koopman you are referring to in the manual. Frédéric seems to think that the missing observations are treated (in the book) with the univariate filter, could you tell me if this is the correct ? The Dynare implementation of the filters/smoothers with missing observations does not use the univariate filter (which is very slow on matlab) but a standard Kalman filter with time varying selection matrix (we remove the rows corresponding to the missing observations when needed).
I agree with Michel, I do not plan to implement an interface for handling mixed frequencies. I have a SW model, for which I developed these filters, with mixed frequencies (quaterly and yearly date). I will try to post it somewhere as an example.
Best, Stéphane.
