On Coupling Methods for Nonlinear Filtering and Smoothing
Youssef Marzouk (MIT)
32-155
Title Talk: LIDS Seminar Speaker: Youssef Marzouk Affiliation: MIT Abstract: Bayesian inference for non-Gaussian state-space models is a ubiquitous problem with applications ranging from geophysical data assimilation to mathematical finance. We will discuss how deterministic couplings between probability distributions enable new solutions to this problem. We first consider filtering in high-dimensional models with nonlinear (potentially chaotic) dynamics and sparse observations in space and time. While the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) yields robust ensemble approximations of the filtering distribution in this…
