Learning Outcomes
The student can apply modern algorithms of Bayesian filtering and smoothing. Student is capable of (grade (3/5)) 1. using the basic concepts and formulas of probability and Bayesian statistical inference. 2. presenting a time-series estimation problem in a state-space form and understanding its statistical assumptions and limitations. 3. implementing the Kalman filter and the most common approximations of the nonlinear Bayesian filter and smoother. 4. understanding the approximations and limitations of different non-linear filters. 5. estimating static parameters of the state space model. Grade (1/5): the goal 4 and at least two other goals achieved
