An Introduction To Sequential Monte Carlo - Nicolas Chopin

This Book Provides A General Introduction To Sequential Monte Carlo (smc) Methods, Also Known As Particle Filters. These Methods Have Become A Staple For The Sequential Analysis Of Data In Such Diverse Fields As Signal Processing, Epidemiology, Machine Learning, Population Ecology, Quantitative Finance, And Robotics.the Coverage Is Comprehensive, Ranging From The Underlying Theory To Computational Implementation, Methodology, And Diverse Applications In Various Areas Of Science. This Is Achieved By Describing Smc Algorithms As Particular Cases Of A General Framework, Which Involves Concepts Such As Feynman-kac Distributions, And Tools Such As Importance Sampling And Resampling.
