dsem
is an R package for fitting dynamic structural
equation models (DSEMs) with a simple user-interface and generic
specification of simultaneous and lagged effects in a non-recursive
structure. We here highlight a few features in particular.
Comparison with dynamic linear models
We first demonstrate that dsem
gives identical results
to dynlm
for a well-known econometric model, the Klein-1
model.
data(KleinI, package="AER")
TS = ts(data.frame(KleinI, "time"=time(KleinI) - 1931))
# dynlm
fm_cons <- dynlm(consumption ~ cprofits + L(cprofits) + I(pwage + gwage), data = TS)
fm_inv <- dynlm(invest ~ cprofits + L(cprofits) + capital, data = TS) #
fm_pwage <- dynlm(pwage ~ gnp + L(gnp) + time, data = TS)
# dsem
sem = "
# Link, lag, param_name
cprofits -> consumption, 0, a1
cprofits -> consumption, 1, a2
pwage -> consumption, 0, a3
gwage -> consumption, 0, a3
cprofits -> invest, 0, b1
cprofits -> invest, 1, b2
capital -> invest, 0, b3
gnp -> pwage, 0, c2
gnp -> pwage, 1, c3
time -> pwage, 0, c1
"
tsdata = TS[,c("time","gnp","pwage","cprofits",'consumption',
"gwage","invest","capital")]
fit = dsem( sem=sem,
tsdata = tsdata,
estimate_delta0 = TRUE,
control = dsem_control(
quiet = TRUE,
newton_loops = 0) )
#> 1 regions found.
#> Using 1 threads
#> 1 regions found.
#> Using 1 threads
# Compile
m1 = rbind( summary(fm_cons)$coef[-1,],
summary(fm_inv)$coef[-1,],
summary(fm_pwage)$coef[-1,] )[,1:2]
m2 = summary(fit$sdrep)[1:9,]
m = rbind(
data.frame("var"=rownames(m1),m1,"method"="OLS","eq"=rep(c("C","I","Wp"),each=3)),
data.frame("var"=rownames(m1),m2,"method"="GMRF","eq"=rep(c("C","I","Wp"),each=3))
)
m = cbind(m, "lower"=m$Estimate-m$Std..Error, "upper"=m$Estimate+m$Std..Error )
# ggplot estimates
longform = melt( as.data.frame(KleinI) )
longform$year = rep( time(KleinI), 9 )
p1 = ggplot( data=longform, aes(x=year, y=value) ) +
facet_grid( rows=vars(variable), scales="free" ) +
geom_line( )
p2 = ggplot(data=m, aes(x=interaction(var,eq), y=Estimate, color=method)) +
geom_point( position=position_dodge(0.9) ) +
geom_errorbar( aes(ymax=as.numeric(upper),ymin=as.numeric(lower)),
width=0.25, position=position_dodge(0.9)) #
p3 = plot( as_fitted_DAG(fit) ) +
expand_limits(x = c(-0.2,1) )
p4 = plot( as_fitted_DAG(fit, lag=1), text_size=4 ) +
expand_limits(x = c(-0.2,1), y = c(-0.2,0) )
p1
p2
grid.arrange( arrangeGrob(p3, p4, nrow=2) )
Results show that both packages provide (almost) identical estimates and standard errors.
We can also compare results using the Laplace approximation against those obtained via numerical integration of random effects using MCMC. In this example, MCMC results in somewhat higher estimates of exogenous variance parameters (presumably because those follow a chi-squared distribution with positive skewness), but otherwise the two produce similar estimates.
library(tmbstan)
# MCMC for both fixed and random effects
mcmc = tmbstan( fit$obj, init="last.par.best" )
summary_mcmc = summary(mcmc)
# long-form data frame
m1 = summary_mcmc$summary[1:17,c('mean','sd')]
rownames(m1) = paste0( "b", seq_len(nrow(m1)) )
m2 = summary(fit$sdrep)[1:17,c('Estimate','Std. Error')]
m = rbind(
data.frame('mean'=m1[,1], 'sd'=m1[,2], 'par'=rownames(m1), "method"="MCMC"),
data.frame('mean'=m2[,1], 'sd'=m2[,2], 'par'=rownames(m1), "method"="LA")
)
m$lower = m$mean - m$sd
m$upper = m$mean + m$sd
# plot
ggplot(data=m, aes(x=par, y=mean, col=method)) +
geom_point( position=position_dodge(0.9) ) +
geom_errorbar( aes(ymax=as.numeric(upper),ymin=as.numeric(lower)),
width=0.25, position=position_dodge(0.9)) #
Comparison with vector autoregressive models
We next demonstrate that dsem
gives similar results to a
vector autoregressive (VAR) model. To do so, we analyze population
abundance of wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale from 1959 to
2019, downloaded from their website (Vucetich, JA and Peterson RO. 2012.
The population biology of Isle Royale wolves and moose: an overview.
URL: www.isleroyalewolf.org).
This dataset was previously analyzed by in Chapter 14 of the User Manual for the R-package MARSS (Holmes, E. E., M. D. Scheuerell, and E. J. Ward (2023) Analysis of multivariate time-series using the MARSS package. Version 3.11.8. NOAA Fisheries, Northwest Fisheries Science Center, 2725 Montlake Blvd E., Seattle, WA 98112, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5781847).
Here, we compare fits using dsem
with
dynlm
, as well as a vector autoregressive model package
vars
, and finally with MARSS
.

Results again show that dsem
can estimate parameters for
a vector autoregressive model (VAM), and it exactly matches results from
vars
, using dynlm
, or using
MARSS
.
