Abstract
This entire chapter will be devoted to a discussion of several topics concerning the theory of imposing linear restrictions enunciated under a quite general form in (2.5) from Assumption 2.1. In Sect. 3.1, I will present and compare three different derivations of the restricted Kalman updating and smoothing equations under an augmented modeling approach. In Sect. 3.2, the statistical efficiency due to the imposition of restrictions is proved, and this shall be done using a geometrical framework. Moving forward, I try in Sect. 3.3 to establish the equivalence between restricted Kalman filtering and something that could be termed a recursive restricted least squares estimator. Finally, in Sect. 3.4, I investigate how initial diffuse state vectors affect the use of the Kalman smoother under linear restrictions.
