Multilevel Particle Filters
[ Abstract ]
In this talk the filtering of partially observed diffusions,
with discrete-time observations, is considered.
It is assumed that only biased approximations of the diffusion can be
obtained, for choice of an accuracy parameter indexed by $l$.
A multilevel estimator is proposed, consisting of a telescopic sum of
increment estimators associated to the successive levels.
The work associated to $\cO(\varepsilon^2)$ mean-square error between
the multilevel estimator and average with respect to the filtering
distribution is shown to scale optimally, for example as
$\cO(\varepsilon^{-2})$ for optimal rates of convergence of the
underlying diffusion approximation.
The method is illustrated on several examples.
