State space models on special manifolds

This paper concerns modeling time series observations in state space forms considered on the Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds. We develop a state space model relating the time series observations to a sequence of unobserved state or parameter matrices assuming the matrix Langevin noise processes on the Stiefel manifolds. We show a Bayes method for estimating the state matrices by the posterior modes. We consider a further extended state space model where two sequences of unobserved state matrices are involved. A simple state space model on the Grassmann manifolds with matrix Langevin noise processes is also investigated.
