Sequential Monte Carlo smoothing with application to parameter estimation in non-linear state space models
This paper concerns the use of Sequential Monte Carlo methods (SMC) for smoothing in general state space models. A well known problem when applying the standard SMC technique in the smoothing mode is that the resampling mechanism introduces degeneracy of the approximation in the path-space. However, when performing maximum likelihood estimation via the EM algorithm, all involved functionals wil...
متن کاملOn the Use of Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Approximating Smoothing Functionals, with Application to Fixed Parameter Estimation
Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods have demonstrated a strong potential for inference on the state variables in Bayesian dynamic models. In this context, it is also often needed to calibrate model parameters. To do so, we consider block maximum likelihood estimation based either on EM (Expectation-Maximization) or gradient methods. In this approach, the key ingredient is the computation of sm...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo for rare event estimation
This paper discusses a novel strategy for simulating rare events and an associated Monte Carlo estimation of tail probabilities. Our method uses a system of interacting particles and exploits a FeynmanKac representation of that system to analyze their fluctuations. Our precise analysis of the variance of a standard multilevel splitting algorithm reveals an opportunity for improvement. This lead...
متن کاملBayesian Parameter Estimation: A Monte Carlo Approach
This paper presents a Bayesian approach, using parallel Monte Carlo modelling algorithms for combining expert judgements when there is inherent variability amongst these judgements. The proposed model accounts for the situation when the derivative method for finding the maximum likelihood breaks down Introduction An expert is deemed to mean a person with specialised knowledge about a given subj...
