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.
