MARSS package uploaded to CRAN
The official release of 1.0 has been uploaded to CRAN (Here's the link to the CRAN page).
This is an R package to fit unconstrained and constrained multivariate autoregressive state-space
models via maximum-likelihood (EM algorithm).  It was developed by Eli Holmes, Eric Ward and Kellie Wills.  
It is fully documented with a user guide/manual: 
Analysis of multivariate time-series using the MARSS package,
by E.E. Holmes and E.J. Ward.  MARSS has bootstrap AICb and CIs and simulation features.  MARSS 1.0 doesn't allow you to estimate the 
B matrix.  MARSS 2.0 will allow that, and MARSS 3.0 will provide Bayesian fitting.  If you are looking for the derivation of update 
equations for the Kalman-EM algorithm, take a look at Derivation of the EM algorithm for constrained
and unconstrained multivariate autoregressive state-space (MARSS) models.
