Other terms for Kalman filtering, prediction and smoothing are 
"state space modeling" and "dynamic linear models".


       Consider the following extension of Ben Bolker's suggestion to 
use the 'sos' package:


library(sos)
k <- ???Kalman
ss <- findFn('state space')
dlm <- findFn('dynamic linear model')
dlms <- findFn('dynamic linear models')
# NOT necessarily a subset of dlm
ksd <- (k | ss | dlm | dlms)
# union of the above 4
installPackages(ksd)
# Install the primary packages to get addition info for writeFindFn2xls
writeFindFn2xls(ksd)
getwd() # directory containing ksd.xls


       The first sheet of "ksd.xls" provides a one-line summary of the 
packages including date last updated, any vignettes, etc.  This file 
says that "ksd" found 31 matches in the "dse" package by Paul Gilbert, 
who has been a major contributor in this area for many years, using his 
own code at the Bank of Canada.  I have not used the second and third 
packages, expsmooth and MARSS, so I can't speak about them.  However, 
the next package is "dlm", for which a companion book appeared just over 
a year ago;  I've found it very powerful and relatively easy to use.  If 
your response variables are something other than the a linear 
combination of components of the state vector plus normal noise, then I 
suggest you consider the "sspir" package, which is number 6 on this list 
in terms of the number of help pages matching the search terms.


       Hope this helps.
