# Implicitly Create State-Space Model Containing Regression Component

This example shows how to implicitly create a state-space model that contains a regression component in the observation equation. The state model is an ARMA(1,1).

Write a function that specifies how the parameters in params map to the state-space model matrices, the initial state values, and the type of state. Specify the regression component by deflating the observations within the function. Symbolically, the model is:

function [A,B,C,D,Mean0,Cov0,StateType,DeflateY] = regressionParamMap(params,y,z)
% State-space model with a regression component parameter mapping function
% example. This function maps the vector params to the state-space matrices
% (A, B, C, and D), the initial state value and the initial state variance
% (Mean0 and Cov0), and the type of state (StateType). The state model is
% an ARMA(1,1).
varu1 = exp(params(3)); % Positive variance constraint
vare1 = exp(params(4));
A = [params(1) params(2); 0 0];
B = [sqrt(varu1); 1];
C = [1 0];
D = sqrt(vare1);
Mean0 = [0.5 0.5];
Cov0 = eye(2);
StateType = [0 0];
DeflateY = y - params(5)*z;
end



Save this code as a file named regressionParamMap on your MATLAB® path.

Create the state-space model by passing the function regressionParamMap as a function handle to ssm.

Mdl = ssm(@(params)regressionParamMap(params,y,z)); 

ssm implicitly creates the state-space model. Usually, you cannot verify implicitly defined state-space models.

Before creating the model, ensure that the data y and z exist in your workspace.
