Summary
This chapter is devoted to the particle filter, a method that approximates the filtering distribution by a sum of Dirac masses. Particle filters provably converge to the filtering distribution as the number of particles, and hence the number of Dirac masses, approaches infinity. We focus on the bootstrap particle filter (BPF), also known as sequential importance resampling; it is linked to the material on Monte Carlo and importance sampling described in Chapter 5.
