Abstract
We derive exact expressions for the conditional mean and variance of the initial state of a state space system with stochastic inputs, under stationarity or nonstationarity. These results generalize those of De Jong and Chu-Chun-Lin (1994) and provide a useful initialization method to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. As final estimates are sensitive to initial conditions, the presence of stochastic inputs -a frequent situation ín Econometrics- should be considered when computing the mean and variance of the initial state.
