Particle filters for continuous likelihood evaluation and maximisation

S Malik, MK Pitt - Journal of Econometrics, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper, a method is introduced for approximating the likelihood for the unknown
parameters of a state space model. The approximation converges to the true likelihood as …
