+The \pkg{yuima} package is intended to offer the basic infrastructure on which complex models and inference procedures can be built on. This paper explains the design of the \pkg{yuima} package and provides some examples of applications.
+The paper is organised as follows. Section \ref{sec2} is an overview about the package. Section \ref{sec3} describe the way models are specified in \pkg{yuima}. Section \ref{sec4} explains asymptotic expansion methods. Section \ref{sec5} is a review of basic inference procedures. Finally, Section \ref{sec6} explains additional details and the roadmap of the YUIMA Project.

 Although we assume that the reader of this paper has a basic knowledge of the \proglang{R} language, most of the examples are easy to be understood by anyone.

+\section{The \pkg{yuima} package}\label{sec2}
 The package \pkg{yuima} depends on some other packages, like  \pkg{zoo}, which can be installed separately.
 The package \pkg{zoo} is used internally to store time series data. This dependence may change in the future adopting a more flexible class for internal storage of time series.

 \end{itemize}
 As seen in the above, the parameters space is accurately described internally in a \code{yuima} object because in inference for stochastic differential equations, estimators of different parameters have different properties. Usually, the rate of convergence for estimators in the diffusion coefficient are similar to the ones in the i.i.d. sampling while estimators of parameters in the drift coefficient are slower or, in some cases, not even consistent. The \pkg{yuima} always tries to implement the best statistical inference for the given model under the observed sampling scheme.

 The \code{simulate} function accepts several arguments including the description of the sampling structure, which is an object of type \code{yuima.sampling}. The \code{setSampling} allow for the specification of different sampling parameters including random sampling. Further, the \code{subsampling} allow to subsample a trajectory of a simulated stochastic differential equation or a given time series in the \code{yuima.data} slot of a \code{yuima} object.
 Sampling and subsampling can be specified jointly as arguments to the \code{simulate} function. This is convenient if one wants to simulate data at very high frequency but then return only low frequency data for inference or other applications.

+\section{Inference for stochastic processes}\label{sec5}
 The \pkg{yuima} implements several optimal techniques for parametric and nonparametric estimation of multidimensional stochastic differential equations.
 Although most of the examples in this section are given on simulated data, the main way to fill up the \code{data} slot of a \code{yuima} object is to use the function \code{setYuima}. The function \code{setYuima} sets various slots of the \code{yuima} object. In particular, to estimate a \code{yuima.model} called \code{mod} on the data \code{X} one can use a code like this \code{my.yuima <- setYuima(data=setData(X), model=mod)} and then pass \code{my.yuima} to the inference functions as described in what follows.
