ukf: Unscented Kalman Filtering

In bssm: Bayesian Inference of Non-Linear and Non-Gaussian State Space Models

Unscented Kalman Filtering

Description

Function ukf runs the unscented Kalman filter for the given non-linear Gaussian model of class ssm_nlg, and returns the filtered estimates and one-step-ahead predictions of the states α_t given the data up to time t.

Usage

ukf(model, alpha = 0.001, beta = 2, kappa = 0)

Arguments

model	Model of class ssm_nlg.
alpha	Positive tuning parameter of the UKF. Default is 0.001. Smaller the value, closer the sigma point are to the mean of the state.
beta	Non-negative tuning parameter of the UKF. The default value is 2, which is optimal for Gaussian states.
kappa	Non-negative tuning parameter of the UKF, which also affects the spread of sigma points. Default value is 0.

Value

List containing the log-likelihood, one-step-ahead predictions at and filtered estimates att of states, and the corresponding variances Pt and Ptt.
