No problem!

Working:
z<-ts(sin(1:1000), start=1, freq=10)
x<-StructTS(z, type='BSM')
Hang:
z<-ts(sin(1:1000), start=1, freq=100)
x<-StructTS(z, type='BSM')
(Both on WinXP, R 2.9.2)

I don't, however, know who the package maintainer is, nor can I track down 
where exactly the hang is caused.

Maybe somebody else can help me with that.


Apologies, thought that code was from a contributed package rather than from the base distribution of R.
In this case, and given the code, we should try to debug a little bit.

My first impression is that it will take some time given experiments with smaller numbers it looks roughly exponential in runtime. I'll be off for a meeting now and will look at results in 1-2 hours (when I expect them to appear on my machine).

Hi!

You have probably sorted out your problem a different way.
However I have tried dealing with the same problem for a while and writing down 
the reason for this here may be of use to someone.

In some other help-mail I read that time series objects behave unexpectedly in 
some situations if the frequency is too high. As a result of this, a call of 
StructTS (with seasonality) hangs if and only if the frequency is larger than 
24 (if I remember the number right). This is what I found with my own time 
series using several frequencies.

So, this may not be helpful using StructTS on a time series, but it may save 
somebody some time.


Even better: report a reproducible example to the package maintainer who
is certainly happy to fix bugs in the package.

Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges


Regards,
Richard
