Advanced Monte Carlo Methods for Complex Inference Problems

Co-author: Pierre Del Moral (University of New South Wales)

We introduce a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method for sampling the state of continuous-time state-space models when observations are highly informative, a situation in which standard SMC methods can perform poorly. The most extreme case is where the observations are exact—-of the state itself—-and the problem is that of simulating diffusion bridges between given starting and ending states. The basic idea is to introduce a sequence of intermediate weighting and resampling steps between observation times, guiding particles towards the ending state. A few designs that have been useful in practice are given, and demonstrated on some applied problems that feature complex models.
