bootStateSpace alternatives
The best bootStateSpace alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 17, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to bootStateSpace? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, bootStateSpace shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About bootStateSpace
A parametric bootstrap for state-space models, shipped and then left alone.
bootStateSpace generates parametric bootstrap samples for state-space models, covering fixed-parameter variants across general state-space, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, linear stochastic differential equation and vector autoregressive specifications. Its entire public history is three releases: an initial CRAN publication in January 2025, one patch adding a clean argument to the four fitting functions a month later, and a citation update in October. The methodological anchor is continuous-time mediation work published in Psychological Methods.
