3 A Herarchcal Kalman Fler Summary Sund s herarchcal credbly model s generalsed o a dynamc form, e a form n whch parameers are assumed o evolve over me. hs s done by supermposng a Kalman fler on Sund s model. In he process s shown ha boh Sund s model and he Kalman fler may be derved as drec consequences of Hachemeser s credbly regresson model. A numercal example n Secon 7 llusraes he applcaon of he herarchcal Kalman fler o a herarchy of occupaonal groups. he example shows how parameer esmaes produced by he fler rack he rue values of parameers beer han he esmaes from a sac model when hose parameers evolve over me. Keywords: credbly, Hachemeser model, herarchcal credbly, Kalman fler.
4 A Herarchcal Kalman Fler. Inroducon Herarchcal credbly was nroduced by aylor (979). he parameers were scalars, as were he observaons on hem. hs framework was generalsed by Sund (979, 98) o nclude vecor parameers and observaons. In Sund s framework a lnear regresson model s placed a each level of he herarchy. he model s sac n he sense ha all parameers relae o jus a sngle epoch or me nerval. If, n fac, daa were colleced over mulple me perods, hey would be pooled on he assumpon ha he parameers remaned consan over me. Such poolng of daa renders he model sluggsh n s response o evolvng parameers. One srucure ha recognses parameer evoluon explcly s he Kalman fler (Kalman, 96; Jazwnsk, 97). he purpose of he presen paper s o adap Sund s herarchcal model o a dynamc form by supermposng a Kalman fler on. I s ancpaed ha he parameer esmaes yelded by he dynamc model wll rack he evolvng parameers beer han her sac counerpars. he Kalman fler s derved n Secon 4 and Sudn s resuls n Secon 5. s shown n he process ha boh can be vewed as consequences of Hachemeser s (975) mul-dmensonal credbly model. he herarchcal form of he Kalman fler s derved n Secon 6. Is use s llusraed n Secon 7, where s appled o he orgnal conex of herarchcal credbly (aylor, 979). In hs case he herarchy s a ree of occupaonal groups n a workers compensaon seng..
