timedeppar: Infer Constant and Stochastic, Time-Dependent Model Parameters

Infer constant and stochastic, time-dependent parameters to consider intrinsic stochasticity of a dynamic model and/or to analyze model structure modifications that could reduce model deficits. The concept is based on inferring time-dependent parameters as stochastic processes in the form of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes jointly with inferring constant model parameters and parameters of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. The package also contains functions to sample from and calculate densities of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. References: Tomassini, L., Reichert, P., Kuensch, H.-R.
