Detailed Description

template<typename StateVar, typename MeasVar>
class BFL::ASIRFilter< StateVar, MeasVar >

ASIR: Auxiliary Particle Filter.

This is a possible implementation of a particle filter, which in some/many cases will yield better results, since measures are taken to make the proposal density more similar to the posterior. See

      @Article{	  pitt_auxiliary,
      author	= {Pitt, M. and Shephard, N.},
      title	= {Filtering via simulation: auxiliary particle filter},
      journal	= {Journal of the American Statistical Association},
      year	= {1999},
      note	= {forthcoming}
      }
      

for more details.

Note that this particular implementation:

Particular issue with of proposalstep in case of ASIR filter... The current implementation uses the approximation (see p. 11 of the Pitt and Shephard paper, we use their notation here ---

\[ \alpha \]

denoting the state and

\[ y \]

denoting the measurement)

\[ f(y_{t+1} | \alpha_{t+1}) \approx f(y_{t+1} | \mu_{t+1}) \]

where

\[ \mu \]

is the mean value of the system pdf.

Note that the ASIR needs the measurementmodel for its proposalstep, to obtain a better proposal. Note also that normally, the ASIR performs better that the standard SIR filter in case of outliers, but worse for "normal data" (due to the extra resampling stage).
