I have programmed a function in R which can run KalmanSmooth. When I'm asking for the function and putting in values, R detects the following error: "Error in as.vector(data) : Argument "S1" is missing, with no default".

a) Please tell us R Version and OS (OK, implicitly done that we are 
talking about R-1.9.0 on Windows).
b) Please tell us which packages you are using (I don't know 
KalmanSmooth(), for example).
c) Please try to specify reproducible examples.

Conclusion for a-c): Please read the posting-guide.

My hint is to try to debug yourself, at least *try*, starting eith 
calling traceback() right after the error appeared, in order to get a 
guess where the error really happens. Then look at the data that is 
passed to the function -  and I'm pretty sure you will get at least an 
idea what goes wrong.
