Hello.
Can you explain me what's wrong in my specification of quarterly state space model?
I used the following code:
param c(1) 0 c(2) 0 c(3) 0 c(4) 0
@signal log(ukgas) = mu+gamma+[var=exp(c(1))]
@state mu= mu(-1)+nu(-1)+[var=exp(c(2))]
@state nu= nu(-1)+[var=exp(c(3))]
@state gamma = -gamma(-1)-gamma2(-1)-gamma3(-1)+[var=exp(c(4))]
@state gamma2=gamma(-1)+[var=0]
@state gamma3=gamma2(-1)+[var=0]
The result is, however, discouraging:

What is the right way to write seasonal coefficients equation?
