Particle Learning Methods for State and Parameter Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an approach for online parameter estimation within particle filters. Current research has mainly been focused towards the estimation of static parameters. However, in scenarios of target maneuverability, it is often necessary to update the parameters of the model to meet the changing conditions of the target. The novel aspect of the proposed approach lies in the estimation of non-static parameters which change at some unknown point in time. Our parameter estimation is updated using changepoint analysis, where a changepoint is identified when a significant change occurs in the observations of the system, such as changes in direction or velocity.

Parameter Estimation in General State-Space Models using Particle Methods
Particle filtering techniques are a set of powerful and versatile simulation-based methods to perform optimal state estimation in nonlinear non-Gaussian state-space models. If the model includes fixed parameters, a standard technique to perform parameter estimation consists of extending the state with the parameter to transform the problem into an optimal filtering problem. However, this approa...

Particle filters are an important class of online posterior density estimation algorithms. In this paper we propose a real coded genetic algorithm particle filter (RGAPF) for the dual estimation of stochastic volatility and parameters of a Heston type stochastic volatility model. We compare the performance of our hybrid particle filter with a parameter learning particle filter present in litera...

When classical particle filtering algorithms are used for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in nonlinear statespace models, a key challenge is that estimates of the likelihood function and its derivatives are inherently noisy. The key idea in this paper is to run a particle filter based on a current parameter estimate, but then use the output from this particle filter to re-evaluate the l...

متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Parameter Estimation in General State-Space Models using Particle Methods
A large number of time series can be described by nonlinear, non-Gaussian state-space models. While state estimation for these models is now routinely performed using particle filters, maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters is much more challenging. In this paper, we present new numerical methods to approximate the derivative of the optimal filter. We use this to perform batch an...
