| Abstract: |
In this paper we present a novel optimization method for on-line maximum likelihood estimation of the static parameters of a general state space model. Our approach is based on viewing the particle filter as a controlled Markov chain, where the control is the unknown static parameters to be identified. The algorithm relies on the computation of the gradient of the particle filter using a score function approach. |
