Popis: | In this article we introduce two new estimates of the normalizing constant (or marginal likelihood) for partially observed diffusion (POD) processes, with discrete observations. One estimate is biased but non-negative and the other is unbiased but not almost surely non-negative. Our method uses the multilevel particle filter of Jasra et al (2015). We show that, under assumptions, for Euler discretized PODs and a given $\varepsilon>0$. in order to obtain a mean square error (MSE) of $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^2)$ one requires a work of $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-2.5})$ for our new estimates versus a standard particle filter that requires a work of $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-3})$. Our theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1510.04977 |
