`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.

```{r, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, fig.width=7, fig.height=7}
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) )

# 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.

```{r, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, fig.width=7, fig.height=5, eval=FALSE}
library(tmbstan)

# MCMC for both fixed and random effects
mcmc = tmbstan( fit$obj, init="last.par.best" )
summary_mcmc = summary(mcmc)
```
```{r, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.width=7, fig.height=5, eval=FALSE}
saveRDS( summary_mcmc, file=file.path(R'(C:\Users\James.Thorson\Desktop\Git\dsem\inst\tmbstan)',"summary_mcmc.RDS") )
```
```{r, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4, out.width = "100%", eval=TRUE}
summary_mcmc = readRDS( file.path(system.file("tmbstan",package="dsem"),"summary_mcmc.RDS") )
```
```{r, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4, out.width = "100%", eval=TRUE}
# long-form data frame
m1 = summary_mcmc$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`.

```{r, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, fig.width=5, fig.height=7, warning=FALSE}
data(isle_royale)
data = ts( log(isle_royale[,2:3]), start=1959)

sem = "
  # Link, lag, param_name
  wolves -> wolves, 1, arW
  moose -> wolves, 1, MtoW
  wolves -> moose, 1, WtoM
  moose -> moose, 1, arM
"
# initial first without delta0 (to improve starting values)
fit0 = dsem( sem = sem,
             tsdata = data,
             estimate_delta0 = FALSE,
             control = dsem_control(
               quiet = FALSE,
               getsd = FALSE) )

#
parameters = fit0$obj$env$parList()
  parameters$delta0_j = rep( 0, ncol(data) )

# Refit with delta0
fit = dsem( sem = sem,
            tsdata = data,
            estimate_delta0 = TRUE,
            control = dsem_control( quiet=TRUE,
                                    parameters = parameters ) )

# dynlm
fm_wolf = dynlm( wolves ~ 1 + L(wolves) + L(moose), data=data )   #
fm_moose = dynlm( moose ~ 1 + L(wolves) + L(moose), data=data )   #

# MARSS
library(MARSS)
z.royale.dat <- t(scale(data.frame(data),center=TRUE,scale=FALSE))
royale.model.1 <- list(
  Z = "identity",
  B = "unconstrained",
  Q = "diagonal and unequal",
  R = "zero",
  U = "zero"
)
kem.1 <- MARSS(z.royale.dat, model = royale.model.1)
SE <- MARSSparamCIs( kem.1 )

# Using VAR package
library(vars)
var = VAR( data, type="const" )

### Compile
m1 = rbind( summary(fm_wolf)$coef[-1,], summary(fm_moose)$coef[-1,] )[,1:2]
m2 = summary(fit$sdrep)[1:4,]
#m2 = cbind( "Estimate"=fit$opt$par, "Std. Error"=fit$sdrep$par.fixed )[1:4,]
m3 = cbind( SE$parMean[c(1,3,2,4)], SE$par.se$B[c(1,3,2,4)] )
colnames(m3) = colnames(m2)
m4 = rbind( summary(var$varresult$wolves)$coef[-3,], summary(var$varresult$moose)$coef[-3,] )[,1:2]

# Bundle
m = rbind(
  data.frame("var"=rownames(m1), m1, "method"="dynlm", "eq"=rep(c("Wolf","Moose"),each=2)),
  data.frame("var"=rownames(m1), m2, "method"="dsem", "eq"=rep(c("Wolf","Moose"),each=2)),
  data.frame("var"=rownames(m1), m3, "method"="MARSS", "eq"=rep(c("Wolf","Moose"),each=2)),
  data.frame("var"=rownames(m1), m4, "method"="vars", "eq"=rep(c("Wolf","Moose"),each=2))
)
#knitr::kable( m1, digits=3)
#knitr::kable( m2, digits=3)

m = cbind(m, "lower"=m$Estimate-m$Std..Error, "upper"=m$Estimate+m$Std..Error )

# ggplot estimates ... interaction(x,y) causes an error sometimes
library(ggplot2)
library(ggpubr)
library(ggraph)
longform = reshape( isle_royale, idvar = "year", direction="long", varying=list(2:3), v.names="abundance", timevar="species", times=c("wolves","moose") )
p1 = ggplot( data=longform, aes(x=year, y=abundance) ) +
  facet_grid( rows=vars(species), scales="free" ) +
  geom_point( )

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, lag=1), rotation=0 ) +
     geom_edge_loop( aes( label=round(weight,2), direction=0)) + #arrow=arrow(), , angle_calc="along", label_dodge=grid::unit(10,"points") )
     expand_limits(x = c(-0.1,0) )

ggarrange( p1, p2, p3,
           labels = c("Time-series data", "Estimated effects", "Fitted path digram"),
           ncol = 1, nrow = 3)
```

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`.

## Multi-causal ecosystem synthesis

We next replicate an analysis involving climate, forage fishes, stomach contents, and recruitment of a predatory fish.

```{r, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, fig.width=7, fig.height=7}
data(bering_sea)
Z = ts( bering_sea )

```

These results are further discussed in the paper describing dsem.

## Site-replicated trophic cascade

Finally, we replicate an analysis involving a trophic cascade involving sea stars predators, sea urchin consumers, and kelp producers.
