Efficient Likelihood Estimation in State Space Models
Motivated by studying asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) in stochastic volatility (SV) models, in this paper we investigate likelihood estimation in state space models. We first prove, under some regularity conditions, there is a consistent sequence of roots of the likelihood equation that is asymptotically normal with the inverse of the Fisher information as its va...
متن کاملEfficient simulation and integrated likelihood estimation in state space models
We consider the problem of implementing simple and efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation algorithms for state space models. A conceptually transparent derivation of the posterior distribution of the states is discussed, which also leads to an efficient simulation algorithm that is modular, scalable, and widely applicable. We also discuss a simple approach for evaluating the integ...
متن کاملNewton-based maximum likelihood estimation in nonlinear state space models ?
Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation using Newton’s method in nonlinear state space models (SSMs) is a challenging problem due to the analytical intractability of the loglikelihood and its gradient and Hessian. We estimate the gradient and Hessian using Fisher’s identity in combination with a smoothing algorithm. We explore two approximations of the log-likelihood and of the solution of the smoot...
متن کاملEfficient Simulation and Integrated Likelihood Estimation in Non-Linear Non-Gaussian State Space Models
We propose a generic approach to inference in the non-linear, non-Gaussian state space model. This approach builds on recent developments in precision-based algorithms to estimating general state space models with multivariate observations and states. The baseline algorithm approximates the conditional distribution of the states by a multivariate t density, which is then used for integrated lik...
متن کاملFast simulated annealing in R and an application to maximum likelihood estimation in state-space models
Using classical simulated annealing to maximise a function ψ defined on a subset of R, the probability P(ψ(θn) ≤ ψmax − ε) tends to zero at a logarithmic rate as n increases; here θn is the state in the n-th stage of the simulated annealing algorithm and ψmax is the maximal value of ψ. We propose a modified scheme for which this probability is of order n log n, and hence vanishes at an algebrai...
