System identification using particle filters
A.k.a. parameter estimation in data assimilation
July 25, 2014 — May 4, 2022
Particle filters + system identification.
A placeholder.
1 State augmentation
The classic; just include the parameter vector in the state vector and give it a “small” magnitude random evolution. (But how small?)
2 Via MCMC
a.k.a. particle MCMC. See Frei and Künsch (2012). Kantas et al. (2015) and Fearnhead and Künsch (2018) introduce more.
