Particle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is different and motivated by similar considerations to simulated annealing; that is we build a sequence of artificial distributions whose support concentrates itself on the set of maximum likelihood estimates. We sample...
متن کاملMCMC for State Space Models
In this chapter we look at MCMC methods for a class of time-series models, called statespace models. The idea of state-space models is that there is an unobserved state of interest the evolves through time, and that partial observations of the state are made at successive time-points. We will denote the state by X and observations by Y , and assume that our state space model has the following s...
متن کاملA comparison of algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation of Spatial GLM models
In spatial generalized linear mixed models, spatial correlation is assumed by adding normal latent variables to the model. In these models because of the non-Gaussian spatial response and the presence of latent variables the likelihood function cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce two n...
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 کاملMCMC for non-linear state space models using ensembles of latent sequences
Non-linear state space models are a widely-used class of models for biological, economic, and physical processes. Fitting these models to observed data is a difficult inference problem that has no straightforward solution. We take a Bayesian approach to the inference of unknown parameters of a non-linear state model; this, in turn, requires the availability of efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo...
