Abstract
In this paper, we tackle the study of the relationship between daily non accidental deaths and air pollution in the city of Philadelphia in the years 1974 -1988. For modelling the data, we propose to make use of dynamic generalized linear models. These models allow to deal with the serial dependence and time-varying effects of the covariates. Inference is performed by using extended Kaiman filter and smoother.
