The robust filter shrinks the observations towards their one–step–ahead prediction based on the past, by bounding the effect of the information carried by a new observation according to an influence function. When maximum likelihood estimation is carried out on the replacement data, an M–type estimator is obtained. We investigate the performance of the robust AKF in two applications using as a modeling framework the basic structural time series model, a popular unobserved components model in the analysis of seasonal time series. First, a Monte Carlo experiment is conducted in order to evaluate the com- parative accuracy of the proposed method for estimating the variance parameters. Second, the method is applied in a forecasting context to a large set of European trade statistics series.enghttp://opus.uni-hohenheim.de/doku/lic_mit_pod.phpRobust filteringAugmented Kalman filterStructural time series modelAdditive outlierInnovation outlier300Filterung <Stochastik>HandelsstatistikWorkingPaper451518292urn:nbn:de:bsz:100-opus-11563
