In this paper a method has been given to detect the shocks in structural time series using Kalman filter algorithm. As the Kalman filter algorithm is used for state space forms which include ARMA models as an especial case, the suggested method can be used for more general time series than linear models. Five shocks; additive outlier, level change, seasonal change, periodic change and slope change have been reviewed with this method. The performance of suggested method has been shown via a simulation study. The marriage data set from England has been considered as a real data set to study.
