| Popis: | This paper revisits the work of Rauch et al. (1965) and develops a novel method for recursive maximum likelihood particle filtering for general state-space models. The new method is based on statistical analysis of incomplete observations of the systems. Score function and conditional observed information of the incomplete observations/data are introduced and their distributional properties are discussed. Some identities concerning the score function and information matrices of the incomplete data are derived. Maximum likelihood estimation of state-vector is presented in terms of the score function and observed information matrices. In particular, to deal with nonlinear state-space, a sequential Monte Carlo method is developed. It is given recursively by an EM-gradient-particle filtering which extends the work of Lange (1995) for state estimation. To derive covariance matrix of state-estimation errors, an explicit form of observed information matrix is proposed. It extends Louis (1982) general formula for the same matrix to state-vector estimation. Under (Neumann) boundary conditions of state transition probability distribution, the inverse of this matrix coincides with the Cramer-Rao lower bound on the covariance matrix of estimation errors of unbiased state-estimator. In the case of linear models, the method shows that the Kalman filter is a fully efficient state estimator whose covariance matrix of estimation error coincides with the Cramer-Rao lower bound. Some numerical examples are discussed to exemplify the main results. Comment: 24 pages, 4 Figures |
