PINE LIBRARY
Kalman Filter

Kalman Filter
Joint-state Linear / EKF / UKF steps for CV and CA price filters. Helpers private; consumer owns buffers and noise inputs.
Exported functions
Matrix helpers, Jacobian, and sigma-point utilities stay private inside the library.
Usage
The consumer owns var state/covariance buffers and workspace arrays, then calls a step each bar:
[code]
//version=6
indicator("Example", overlay = true)
import igor_sinkovec/kalman_filter/1 as kf
var float[] x = array.new_float(3, na)
var float[] P = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] xpred = array.new_float(3, 0.0)
var float[] Ppred = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] F = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] Ft = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] tmp = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] K = array.new_float(3, 0.0)
int n = 2
if barstate.isfirst or na(array.get(x, 0))
kf.initFilter(x, P, n, close)
float filtered = kf.linearStep(x, P, n, close, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0, 3.0, xpred, Ppred, F, Ft, tmp, K)
plot(filtered)

Joint-state Linear / EKF / UKF steps for CV and CA price filters. Helpers private; consumer owns buffers and noise inputs.
Exported functions
- initFilter() — initialize state mean and diagonal covariance from the first measurement
- linearStep() — one linear joint-state KF predict/update (level observation)
- ekfStep() — one extended KF step with velocity damping
- ukfStep() — one unscented KF step with the same nonlinearity (falls back to EKF if Cholesky fails)
Matrix helpers, Jacobian, and sigma-point utilities stay private inside the library.
Usage
The consumer owns var state/covariance buffers and workspace arrays, then calls a step each bar:
[code]
//version=6
indicator("Example", overlay = true)
import igor_sinkovec/kalman_filter/1 as kf
var float[] x = array.new_float(3, na)
var float[] P = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] xpred = array.new_float(3, 0.0)
var float[] Ppred = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] F = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] Ft = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] tmp = array.new_float(9, 0.0)
var float[] K = array.new_float(3, 0.0)
int n = 2
if barstate.isfirst or na(array.get(x, 0))
kf.initFilter(x, P, n, close)
float filtered = kf.linearStep(x, P, n, close, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0, 3.0, xpred, Ppred, F, Ft, tmp, K)
plot(filtered)
[/code]
Important notes
- Consumers wire observation noise, process-noise diagonals, and UKF (α, β, κ) themselves.
- Buffers use a fixed 3×3 row-major layout (9 covariance slots) even when n = 2.
