Diagnosing Shocks in Time Series

Abstract
Efficient means of modeling aberrant behavior in times series are developed. Our methods are based on state-space forms and allow test statistics for various interventions to be computed from a single run of the Kalman filter smoother. The approach encompasses existing detection methodologies. Departures commonly observed in practice, such as outlying values, level shifts, and switches, are readily dealt with. New diagnostic statistics are proposed. Implications for structural models, autoregressive integrated moving average models, and models with explanatory variables are given.
